I have delusions, hallucinations, disordered thinking. I don't think its enough to be considered schizophrenia. but I also have the lovely Flat effect.
I recently got a psychological assessment done that expressed that my "expressions was blunted" and that I had "difficult expressing emotions" also "withdrawn from interpersonal relationships"
Problem is, they diagnosed me with Schizoid Personality Disorder. Even though in the symptoms list it did say i had "Ideas of Perscution" and "Thought Dysfunction"
Also, I don't have Schizoid personality disorder, I'm very emotional. Example: I cried for about 4 hours because my partner didnt talk to me much. I do have few close relationships but I made it clear that I need those and I crave more. My psych though seems like a no-nonsense psych who isn't okay with self-dx
(I claimed i had adhd, which was professionally diagnosed, and he did the serial sevens thing in which now he claims that I don't. he also called my condition 'benign' much to the examiners contrast who told my grandfather i was "Six feet underwater" )
I'm planning to take my highlighted examination papers to prove my psych so he can change the diagnosis. unless the psych just thought i was on the spectrum but couldnt figure out where
please somebody help
