My father and mother have been very controlling of me. They also have abused me. Most of the abuse came from my father. When I told the mental health workers that I was abused by my father, they diagnosed me with whatever my father has. I do not understand why they are diagnosing me with what my father and mother have wrong. How come I am not allowed to get domestic abuse therapy to work through the abuse?

You should be able to talk about abuse. But your diagnosis is a separate thing. I am sorry you were abused

I personally don't care about diagnosis it doesn't come up in therapy. It's words on paper unless you're really worried about qualifying for benefits or something. If you're asking for a certain type of therapy and are denied it, then I would try another therapist. As you call around or whatever just be direct about what you are looking for and keep looking til you find it.

You do know that this is about your third or fourth thread in the last few days about this, right?

Your mental health workers are seeing the behaviour that you're displaying - they see that your experience psychosis. That is what they have to treat. That is why your pdoc has diagnosed you with schizophrenia. If your dad also has schizophrenia, then that isn't your mental health workers trying to work against you - there are genetic links with schizophrenia, so if your farther has that then you had a higher chance than the rest of the population to also have it: regardless of how your family treated you.

The psychosis needs treated first. They can't make much progress when you are not stable or thinking clearly. They need to treat what can cause you harm - yourself.

A few weeks ago you were talking about how the mental health workers were abusing you and convincing you to do weird and inappropriate things against your exes. Now this.

Again - they really can't change your past. They can't really work with you on dealing with the past when in the present you're experiencing hallucinations.

You got diagnosed with schizophrenia because of your psychosis (hallucinations). And the only one who could give you that diagnosis is your pdoc - other mental health workers are not diagnosing you, they are trying to treat you based on the diagnosis given by your pdoc.
