Ever since he said this - and he sure wasn't very talkative or engaged, so it's kind of interesting - I have thought about this sentence that he told me. Like what does it mean, do I agree with it. Since he didn't say much about me, I have been thinking if this problem of mine is kind of the essence about me, or the cause of other symptoms.

I was wondering whether a subset of schizophrenia patients has this wrong thing about them as a kind of primary problem that cause other symptoms over time if not "corrected". It sure sounds like that from what my psychiatrist said.

Has any of you been told this as well, and what do you think this is all about? I have been looking for some clinical terminology, and found some that, maybe relates to this, but I would like to hear your opinions.
