I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia, undifferentiated type with paranoid features and that became the diagnoses and that diagnoses took on what I call a master status in terms of my identity. The fact that I was Pat, the fact that there were many aspects to who I was as a person became absolutely irrelevant....It was like wearing a scarlet letter in big neon lights, this is a disease not a person, this is a disorder not a person. Today, lets do what Patrician Deegan does....speak up on how we are NOT our diagnose, our illness, our disorder, rather we are human beings! We are a person! with many great attributes besides the sickness. The illness/disorder should be secondary NOT primary. https://youtube/watch?v=jhK-7DkWaKE
