I have Asperger's, but my therapist says I have psychotic symptoms. I have delusions, paranoia, disorganized thought, and speech. This makes it hard for me to express myself, and I hate that. I'm also somewhat suicidal. I feel like my therapist doesn't take me seriously. She says, "everyone feels this way sometimes". I feel like she writes it off as not being too bad. Should I ask for a psychiatrist to evaluate me? I'm confused, and I don't feel like therapy's helping. If you have any questions, you have but to ask.

Sounds like you probably should. You want to get a full evaluation though. Not something that last 15 minutes. This may involve a different psychologist to do a lot of the evaluating.
You could take the test here to get an idea. Schizophrenia Screening Test - Psych Central

Yes, I think you should. And maybe you should reconsider your therapist too... I've had therapists in the past who didn't listen to what I said and/or didn't believe me. It was a waste of my time and energy and it was bad for my self-esteem, I'm glad I don't have to see those people anymore.

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