I was misdiagnosed as having schizophrenia by a PhD psychologist. It got into my electronic file and every provider I see believes I have schizophrenia. It makes it worse when you tell them you don't have schizophrenia. They look at you like, ya, everyone with schizophrenia says that. When my psychiatrist found out, he was not happy. I have bipolar 1 disorder with psychosis and DID, not schizophrenia. He tried to clean up the problem but every once and a while, I see a provider who brings it up. It makes me very angry to be told I have a diagnosis I don't have. Especially since I grew up with schizophrenics. I know what the illness means.
