Are you sure?: Not being present during the evaluation you're describing, i can't really know what happened. But it seems to me that any psychiatrist would be hard pressed to diagnose schizophrenia, based only on the comments you say you made. Am i missing something here, or is there another question you're trying to ask?

I agree with Dr.: Pappas. I know so many good navy, contract and civil service psychiatrists working with marines- can't imagine any of them making such a significant diagnosis on this basis. Suggest that you clarify this with the provider. Take care.
