Hi. I've been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder but for years I've been told I've got schizophrenia/ schizoaffective because I hear voices and have distressing visions. This new doctor saidshe thinks my past doctors spent too much time focusing on ridding the hallucinations rather than finding and dealing with the source which she thinks is the multiple ongoing traumas I've had. When I first met her I was in hospital and hada bad concussion from a lovers spat with my boyfriend that turned into a rough physical fight. As I've had numerous bad concussions from far more extreme forms of violence she speculates it's possible I've retained some level of brain injury. Not to mention I had Electro-convulsive Therapy (shocks) a number of times and had heavy dosages of meds that left me with memory loss. The shock therapy combined with the drug Clozaril caused me to have spontaneous seizures on several occasions which probably also led to a level brain damage. I'm wondering who to listen to and how to figure what's real and what's not but I'm posting on here because I'm wondering if anyone else can relate to any of these kinds of things. I'm not really looking for help, I'm mostly just tired of being alone with my broken brain.
