I feel like I was traumatized by the mental health system. They told me that I had a personality disorder and now they are saying that I have schizophrenia. I believe that the mental health workers come into my house and do mean things to me. I do not believe in voices because I don't have them. Should I expect the mental health workers to continue to abuse me and tell me it is a delusion?

Just follow the treatment please. You said long time you have schizophrenia long time ago, this isn't new. The only way to deal with it so you can function properly and feel better is to take your medication regularly. Please do so

You could have both. It seems like a lot of people have more than one diagnosis (including me-3 personality disorders and DID). I don't know if the mental health workers are real or not, but I do know that it is unusual for mental health workers to make house calls.

I was just asking what is the difference in the treatment of schizophrenia and a personality disorder.

Schizophrenia = a disorder of the brain

Personality disorder = maladaptive coping skills

Personality disorder treatment: mainly psicotherapy + meds for symptoms (anxiety, rage, ...)
Schizophrenia treatment: manily meds + psicotherapy.
