When I was 18, I was diagnosed and treated for paranoid schizophrenia. When I was 29, I was placed on anti-schizophrenia medication again, and my therapist (not the psychiatrist, the therapist) told me that I might need to take a neuroleptic on occasion for the rest of my life. In my 40s I was told by a different psychiatrist that I have thought disorder, and by yet another psychiatrist that I have schizotypal personality disorder. I have difficulty tolerating medication, which has been interpreted as paranoia by at least one psychiatrist. I have not substantially changed through the years. Certainly, my sense of reality and perceptions are the same now as they were when I was diagnosed as schizophrenic as a teenager.

I just took the Sanity test, and my score is 62.

I never understood the diagnoses, and am not aware of having a history of psychosis.

Going back to my Sanity Score, here is the breakdown:

General Coping  36
Life Events  19
Depression  31
Anxiety  21
Phobias  42
Self-Esteem  67
Eating Disorders  25
Schizophrenia  10
Dissociation  8
Mania  10
Sexual Issues  13
Relationship Issues  19
Alcohol  0
Drugs  0
Physical Issues  33
Smoking Issues  0
Gambling Issues  0
Technology Issues  25
Obsessions/Compulsions  0
Posttraumatic Stress  25
Borderline Traits  29

Hello minúsculo: Thanks for sharing your scores. As I understand the scoring for this test, 62 is a pretty darn good one! Personally I'm not a big fan of mental health diagnosis. So I'm not surprised you've had the experiences you've had.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
