These posts are all very good and intruiging.

I was diagnosed with psychosis NOS and then a few other things, then eventually paranoid schizophrenia when they realised I wasn't recovering as well as I used to between relapses.

I think you all have good points. I attribute my para schiz diagnosis due to the fact that when I am ill, I am floridly psychotic, but in between I show negative symptoms as well as moderate psychotic symptoms. I never really recover you see.

Thank you to all.
