Hi there,
I'm a 19 year male. I was in a car accident in Sept 2005. I was fully consious throughout so it had a big effect on me. I steadily got worse and worse and started having strange & disturbing experiences. I did some research on the internet and paranoid schizophrenia and similar conditions seemed to match my experiences.
I decided to take note of what I was experiencing and present it to a psychologist. 20 minutes later he basically told straight out 'You don't have schizophrenia, dellusional disorder and you're not going crazy' and just said I had mild PTSD and referred me to a psychiatrist in 3 wks. While he did recognise I had a serious problem his blaze attitude and downsizing of my problems has got me confused and I'm searching for a second opinion before I see the psychiatrist in 3 weeks time.
Here is the exact print out of what I gave the psychologist :
