Diagnoses help: Drs make a proper treatment plan and meds 4 clients based on research based guidelines. If u think the diagnosis is wrong, speak w' the therapist about your concerns and try 2 understand why they feel it is accurate. If u have some paranoia u would have trouble trusting people, i hope this helps and that u will try 2 work with ur therapist. Paranoid schizonphrenia is not given lightly get help.
