You sound paranoid, I relate to that feeling. I think your doctor is trying to help you and he's not jumping right to a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Doctors typically rule out any physical problems and then look at mental illness. It's normal to rule out other mental conditions first.

I've taken Seroquel for mania and psychosis. My psychiatrist hates that many doctors prescribe a low dose like yours for sleep. He hates it because it's not for sleep. It's sedating but it's an antipsychotic- serious meds.

My doctor was slow to diagnose me with bipolar disorder. I had brain scan, blood work and when I got a clean bill of health physically, he then turned to examine mental illness. He starts off with the least serious and ruled those out....mood disorders aren't a picnic. Your doctor needs to be thorough, that's best. Family history is relevant, my brother has bipolar disorder. If your doctor doesn't know, tell him.

Seroquel has been approved in the USA to treat depression. I think the starting dose is 300? I wanted to mention it in case of MDD.

Anyway, try to relax but I agree you deserve concrete info on what is going on with your diagnosis and treatment. If I were in your shoes, I'd express my concerns and tell him you need to know what your diagnosis is and what your treatment plan will be

A therapist can support you - I'd get one. They can also dialogue with your psychiatrist if you sign a release for both parties to discuss your health. A therapist can help you get your doctor to get with the program, so to speak. Advocate for you.

I can't diagnose it you sound very coherent, lucid. Your paranoia may or may not be psychosis, ask your doctor. Trust him. You do sound anxious. Do try to relax. Live in the moment, not yesterday or tomorrow. Hang in there. xo
