Not just that. They make you feel the stigma by rather not wanting to diagnose SZA, SZ or BPD (or APD and NPD, if warranted).

My psychiatrist rather doesn't want to focus on the schizo or borderline part, seeing me as normal with an illness or (more and more just) wanting to see me like that. That hurts: the why is completely ignored.

I suspect most therapists are no better, but I could be wrong. The one I spoke to (and pretty much declared war to) once insisted that SZA/BP was just BP with psychotic problems due to exhaustion until I showed here my psychological evaluation, which clearly shows the ways I have been dealing with chronic psychotic problems and how it shaped me.
