Story Schizophrenia?

[λ-calculus]

I've been going to therapy for over a year now. They did a lot of tests on me, but they never explicitly told me what was my official diagnosis, I always thought I was just depressed. The other day my mother told me I apparently have schizophrenia, but that doesn't make sense. I don't suffer from any form of hallucination and I like to think that my thoughts processes are very rational (it is indeed over). So what gives? is it possible to have schizophrenia and not hallucinate? I made sure to answer no in the questions where they asked me if I had voices telling me stuff. Also they've been giving me an anti psychotics for over six months now, I thought it was just to treat depression but apparently anti psychotics are for treating schizophrenia. Also my mother has been constantly asking me if I hear voices and I always tell her no.

your hallucinations may be just as real as reality and/or you mostly suffer from negative symptoms

What if "schizophrenia" is reality and neurotypicals are the mentally ill?

We have to beware of the normies then.

Schizophrenia isn't real

You're 26 yo, right? You're not momma's boy anymore and it is very strange for a doctor to go over your head.

Take some online tests first as schizophrenia is obviously more than just "hallucinating". Maybe your mom can't separate "Schizoid personality disorder" from schizophrenia proper.

Then consider visiting a private clinic - it's just freelancing docs launching a small business - it wouldn't be hard to hit them up for a consultation. Without mom and this strange "No, I will keep you in the dark!" approach.

stop taking antipsychotics unless you're having positive schizophrenia symptoms

I really want to stop taking them, they're crazy expensive, but the psychologist literally threatened to put me in a mental ward for 3 months if I don't. Insane how these people are giving the power to do stuff like this. They shouldn't be able to lock up someone who hasn't committed any crimes.
