I was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia for 7 years. I got Haldol injections in my arm once a month and my friends thought I was autistic (I'm not). I frequently started my doctor visits by saying "I don't think I'm schizophrenic." What does a schizophrenic say?: I don't think I'm schizophrenic. What does an inmate say?: I didn't do it.

I was hospitalized in that seventh year and asked for a different doctor. On my first meeting with him he had my chart in front of him. He didn't talk with me first and the first thing he said was: I think you have a mood disorder, not a thought disorder. He became my doctor.
