You have to be your own doctor

I was reviewing some of the journal posts and not surprised at what parents and individuals are finding themselves up against within institutional care as well as psychiatric care. I myself was diagnosed with schizophrenia before I had even talked to a doctor. The diagnosis came just based on what they had been told by the people around me. I have been told that I will never be able to live off of certain pychotic drugs and to not have very many aspirations.
