The doctor has misdiagnosed me with psychosis,what should I do?

Posted by pritammududi @pritammududi, Oct 1, 2023

I have been taking antidepressant medications since 2 years, OCD medicines since 2 years and antipsychosis medicines and schizophrenia medicines since 6 months. The antidepressants and OCD medicines did not help me even by 1%. I have been misdiagnosed with psychosis, as I never had a single hallucination in my life, I do not imagine or hear voices, and I do not have suspiciousness towards others. But the psychiatrist is not ready to listen to me. He told that the diagnosis of psychosis is correct. But I do not have any psychosis symptoms and never had it. It is so frustrating to be misdiagnosed and been given wrong medicines for 6 months. What should I do?

May I ask what symptoms led you to seek help for your mental health two years ago, when this journey began?

Shyness to talk to others, public speaking fear, shyness to talk to girls and shy to ask doubts in the class. Bit of sadness in life. Poor focus and concentration in studies. And lot of stress in studies from 12th grade. Frustration.

Overwhelmed, sad, frustrated and stressed with academic challenges in college. I have failed 3 years of University. I have taken admission in BBA, Btech Computer Science, Bachelor of Computer Application. I failed in all these 3 courses because I find it difficult to concentrate in studies. In studies, I feel very bored, find it very very difficult,dry and unable to manage the stress. I find it very difficult to attend all lectures and sit for even 2 hours in the classroom, because in University, I found all classes boring, I could not understand anything, I found it overwhelming. These problems have nothing common in psychosis and schizophrenia. I am otherwise a completely normal person with some academic problems.

Have you looked for help for your studies such as tutoring help that might be available through your university?
Have you ever seen a therapist or counselor?
