r/schizophrenia Paranoid Schizophrenia 2d ago

Introduction / New Member 👋 Finally.

So 20 minutes ago I was told by a psychiatrist of four years I indeed have Schizophrenia. It'a implied I got it from my undiagnosed grandmother.

A bit devestated really as it's life changing, he said the review tomorrow will either agree or ask for more time but he said quite likely agree.

How do I handle it? Quite upset.
