A member asked:
I have all the symptoms of schizophrenia with both negative and positive, yet i have not diagnosed with it, my drs don't want to label it, why?

Certainty: A psychiatric label will stay with you for life. It is best that physicians be absolutely certain before making a formal diagnosis. They can still provide all the appropriate treatments even in definitive diagnosis is pending.
