Dr. Javed's mysterious change of diagnosis and the case of his secretary not being truthful

Well, after being diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic at the Caludon Centre, Coventry, my present psychiatrist, Dr. Javed, has now dropped this diagnosis for some mysterious reason and is now saying that I am schizotypal.  I have never been asked any questions relating to my previous diagnosis, to see if I have recovered from paranoid schizophrenia, but somehow, this diagnosis has just disappeared.  Probably, I think, because he would have to justify to my parents, the reasons why I was supposed to be a paranoid schizophrenic.  I have asked Dr. Javed why he is saying that I am schizotypal and he is saying that I used to live a very full, independent life before and run my own business, and that now I don't.  That's it- in a nutshell!  I am sorry but I think that a psychiatrist needs to say a little more than that before he diagnoses any mental illness.  I have since googled 'Schizotypal personality disorder', and I found that Dr. Javed never mentioned any of the symptoms that are listed when making his diagnosis.  Apart from this, the main characteristic of a schizotypal personality disorder is social anxiety, followed by not having any friends, preferring social isolation. People suffering from Schizotypal personality disorder are inhibited from making friendships as they suffer from paranoia. Dr. Javed has never asked me if I was socially anxious, or whether I have any friends.  He has not actually asked me whether I prefer to be by myself, and he knows that I go round to my parents nearly every day, so he knows that I don't prefer social isolation. He has not asked my parents whether I suffer from the symptoms that relate to schizotypal personality disorder either.  I am not socially anxious and I do have friends.  Dr. Javed has never asked me a question that relates to any of the symptoms of Schizotypal Personality Disorder. So, what is going on? Dr. Javed has never asked me exactly why I have not been able to rebuild my life, so that I could live the same, full independent life that I did before my admission to the Caludon Centre.  If he did, I would tell him that my life has been destroyed, beyond repair-I feel, and that I just wouldn't know where to start.  Does this make me mentally ill?

In October, 2015, I was invited to attend a meeting with Dr. Javed, in a letter which said that the meeting was to discuss working towards a discharge from mental health services.  This meeting was cancelled, on the grounds that Dr. Javed was not very well.  However, another appointment was not arranged.  So, in time, I phoned Dr. Javed's secretary, and asked her what had happened to my appointment.  She said that she would see to it.  However, as time went by, no new appointment came in the post.  I had to wait two months for my appointment with a social worker, Mary Hickey, to find out what had happened to my meeting with Dr. Javed.  She said that she had cancelled my appointment, because she didn't think that it would be very nice for me! Why did Dr. Javed agree to this cancellation? Presumably, if I am with the mental health services, under a diagnosis of mental illness, it is only right that I should see the Psychiatrist, on some kind of basis, for a re-evaluation  of my mental 'condition' and to see how I was progressing. Why wasn't I informed of the cancellation? Presumably, because it would look rather funny if I had received a letter, saying 'that your meeting has been cancelled because your social worker doesn't think it will be very nice for you'.   I was not very happy with the fact that my appointment had been cancelled without discussion or notice, so I asked Mary Hickey to re-arrange my appointment.  After this, I was sent another letter arranging a meeting with Dr. Javed in January, 2016. This time, nothing was mentioned about possible discharge from mental health services.  I wondered why this was, and I tried to ask the secretary for a copy of the original letter.  The secretary said that she had just sent me a standard letter, and that she would never mention discharge from mental health services.  She did not give me a copy either.  So, what is going on? Why did she lie?  I am sure that she would not have just done it off her own back.  my experiences to date with Dr. Javed and his health team have led me not to trust him or his team.  It is not that I have an issue with trusting people.  I have been able to trust people in the past and still trust people now, that prove worthy of my trust.
