Then you can't qualify for diagnosis of schizophrenia. According to DSM 4, the delusions and hallucinations have to be persistent, and they have to last for at least a month.

I am surprised you got diagnosed then. I mean, 14 years ago they already knew not to over-diagnose schizophrenia. What you describe sounds more like a problem back in 60-s.

By the way did they give you any medications? Were you given shock therapy? Were you hospitalized?

The meds for schizophrenia are horrible. Neuroleptics are designed to block nerve endings. Now they are not "smart" so they block ALL nerves, not just the ones responsible for hallucinations. In other words, the point is to simply ruin your brain so it won't have enough energy to hallucinate. Just like if you computer says 2+2=5 why not just smash it with a hammer, so it won't be able to say anything at all, including 2+2=5.

Shock therapy uses similar philosophy. There is nothing magic about electric shock other than the fact that it ruins your brain. I would say that shock therapy is worse than meds, at least meds can wear off while shock ruins your brain permanently.

"They" were still diagnosing / misdiagnosing schizophrenia in the U.S. 12 years ago. :?

No, thankfully my mom didn't agree with the diagnoses and never brought me back (my biological father WAS schizophrenic, so at least she had that to compare me to), but the psychiatrist had started writing out prescriptions for my mom to fill. She just never did.
For which I am very grateful.

So do you have any official diagnosis besides schizophrenia? I noticed your profile says that you don't have official diagnosis of Asperger's.

I am not surprised whatsoever about these results as I am told that I'm a (neurotic) perfectionist.

No, no other diagnoses. I should, with any luck, be getting insurance within the next couple of months at which point I will attempt to go to a psychiatrist.

Right now Asperger's/Autism/PDD-NOS seems like the most likely possibility, which is why I put 'Have Asperger's/not diagnosed' and feels like the most comfortable fit because it encompasses so much of myself.

Hmm, couldn't quite get the text lined up right.

Edit: I got everything lined up in columns but it doesn't format right in the forum.
