Hello,

It's been some time since I changed my phychiatrist, ( I wrote the reason in a previous post). the new phychiatrist think that I don't have phychotic symptoms instead he think that I just have social anxiety since I only think that people are talking about me and want to harm me, I am not actually believe that. he says I don't have schizophrenia because I don't have any phychotic symptoms anymore. he is decreasing the dose of antiphychotic and increasing the dose of anti-depressant.

I am no longer sure if I even had schizophrenia or my previous phychiatrist misdiagnosed me.

You are right, I am still afraid of water that's why I don't take a bath frequently, I am also afraid of shaving my beard. However I haven't told this to my psychiatrist since I thought it was irrelevant. Please tell me if these are also symptoms of schizophrenia.

Since you already have a schizophrenia diagnosis, they sound like they're related to it. How soon can you talk to your psychiatrist? Can you send them a message?

I don't have their number so I can't send a message right now. However I will be going to the hospital after 20 days so then I can tell him about this.
