I'm not referring to the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. I'm referring to a high probability SC suffered an attachment disorder as a result of multiple caregivers during the early years and June's severe depression caused by her decision to adopt SC.
Where has any psychiatrist said they thought Sheila had Paranoid Schizophrenia? Have you a link, please?
In the reports I’ve read Sheila’s psychiatrist in Harley Street believed she had MILD SCHIZOPHRENIA. And that was later in his diagnosis. When he first assessed Sheila he never suggested she even had Schizophrenia — it was only later that he came to that conclusion.
It’s a pity that Sheila wasn’t referred to another psychiatrist, not just for a second opinion, but it’s well-known that many, many doctors who rent rooms in Harley Street aren’t as qualified as they seem. I’m not saying Dr Ferguson wasn’t a fully qualified psychiatrist — I’m sure his credentials were checked by the solicitors — but even if he was an esteemed consultant psychiatrist that doesn’t mean he necessarily diagnosed Sheila correctly. It’s already been shown that there were discrepancies between him and Sheila’s GP....perhaps they should have delved deeper into that.
