I know this isn't the DSM criteria but the NHS website says a symptom of EUPD could be 'prolonged episodes of abnormal experiences – where you might experience both hallucinations (voices outside your head) and distressing beliefs that no one can talk you out of (such as believing your family are secretly trying to kill you)
These types of beliefs may be psychotic and a sign you're becoming more unwell. It's important to get help if you're struggling with delusions.'
Maybe that's what people mean when they say the men and the other world do fit into a EUPD diagnosis?
That doesn't change my beliefs about them being real but maybe this is why the professionals have false beliefs that they are part of EUPD. But things have been getting worse, and although that says it could be a sign that you are becoming more unwell nobody really bothers about that.
Anyway, I will post what I have written for my appointment in another post so this isn't too long. Please let me know if it sounds ok and if I've mentioned something here that I haven't included but what might be important to include. Thanks.
