Now she thinks it is schizophrenia and not full on ptsd or c-ptsd. She thinks anti-psychotics is the way to go even though I take prazosin for flashbacks.
So I asked her flat out if she thinks I have ptsd or c-ptsd. She said I have elements of ptsd like flashbacks or shame episodes etc. But she didn't outright diagnosed me with ptsd or c-ptsd.
When I asked her what to say to my therapist she said tell them I have elements of ptsd.
I think she is a nutjob.. she is totally stupid or just evil.. trying to push anti-psychotics on me and not diagnose me with ptsd. Even though I take prazosin which is a ptsd medication.
Btw I am under involuntary treatment under her so if I don't take medication she can lock me up in the psych ward and call the police.
So what do you think? Does having elements of ptsd not mean I have ptsd or c-ptsd or she is just evil and is trying to torture me?

I don't know if she's evil, but maybe she doesn't know her job too well. I know that each pdoc or whatever you go to will probably give you a different diagnosis since so many of these disorders share symptoms. So she's just another one of these people putting the label she wants on you.
Try to get through this involuntary period and then hopefully you can find a pdoc you like better.
