I have a friend who told us that the counsellor at a university diagnosed him with DID. Then many days later, he said he had several symptoms of schizophrenia, which made the counsellor unable to differentiate whether he has schizophrenia or DID (he said the counsellor was confused between DID and schizophrenia symptoms). Then later he said the doctor added his diagnosis with something relate to amygdala concluded he had schizophrenia and DID at the same time. When we asked which type of “amygdala” mental illness is that, he said the doctor only typed the diagnosis through zoom chat so he wasn’t clear nor remember anything. When we asked how about sending diagnosis documents through e-mail, he said: “Oh, I don’t want to read e-mail so I request the counsellor to diagnose me by word-of-mouth”. Basically, the  counsellor didn’t send any document that officially diagnose him with schizophrenia nor DID, nor the amygdala thingy, to comprise with his request. The counsellor only concluded him with DID simply by saying through zoom conversation. Eventually, a friend in our group doubted  whether or not is he gaslighting us by faking mental illness, so she confronted him. Our friend said he didn’t know anything, he only repeated what the counsellor said so he was innocent. But later then he claimed that the counsellor never concluded he had schizophrenia. The counsellor only said some of his symptoms were similar to schizophrenia, plus he was confused between what the doctor said so he kinda twisted the story a bit and self-diagnosed himself with schizophrenia for further attention from us. When we asked again about the electronic or paper diagnosis documents and treatment plan stuffs, he said “Oh I deleted every proof that proving I have mental illness so I don’t care if you think I’m lying.” I mean, personally I really care for him and I trust every word he said. But what he said before and  later kinda contradict each other. What do you guys think about this? When you go to a counseling at a university, is the counsellor qualified to give you a diagnosis or will they refer you to a GP or clinic? When they officially diagnose you with an illness, do they send you a document about that or any treatment plan? Or they simply diagnose you through conversation and talk? Furthermore, why would he said at first that he requested the doctor not to send any document, and later he claimed that he had deleted every evidence and documents proving that he had mental illness? I really want to trust him, but everything he said just makes me so confused, but I never want to think of him as for faking mental illness. What do you guys think about this? Please help me out. Thank you very much.
