Just my opinion of course.
Regardless Hallie ,
I’m glad your doing better and things aren’t as scary , that’s what really matters.  |
My psychologist is a well known trauma expert. I see her twice a week. I trust her with anything trauma related. If she has a question about my psychotic disorders she always defers to my psychiatrist. He's an MD. 4 years of medical school, 3 years of residency, and is board certified in psychiatry. MDs are the experts on psychosis and their treatment. Psychologists are the experts on psychotherapy and trauma treatment. My question is, does your psychiatrist agree with your psychologist? One time I had a PhD psychologist tell me I had schizophrenia. It devastated me. My psychiatrist was quite annoyed I had been so badly diagnosed. I did not have schizophrenia. I had bipolar 1 disorder with psychotic features. The symptoms are similar but making the diagnosis is subtle. Trust your MD. The correct diagnosis is critical.
