I like having a name to my condition, it just makes me feel like it is more under control. Years ago I was diagnosed as bipolar but I hear voices and some other stuff not necessarily associated with bipolar. Since I started seeing this doctor she has implied I have schizophrenia and every medication change I have had has been the dosage to treat schizophrenia, not bipolar. Thing is she won’t just flat out give me a diagnosis. I know there is an aspect of subjectiveness when it comes to mental health but she could say it looks like I am dealing with X. From the treatments I thought it might be schizoaffective but I am honestly just guessing.
