TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE
The Gaslight Chronicles: When Institution Meets Reality
THEY SAID
SCHIZOPHRENIA DIAGNOSIS
"Patient meets criteria for schizophrenia" - Official record, 2020
Professor Dennerstein's report explicitly diagnosed schizophrenia and recommended urgent antipsychotic intervention. This label became your permanent identity in the system, following you like a shadow for years to come.
THE ECHO CHAMBER: "PER DENNERSTEIN"
2020-2024: Diagnosis recycled through endless assessments
Like a broken record, multiple practitioners and agencies mindlessly referenced "per Dennerstein" as gospel truth. No verification, no questions asked - just an institutional game of telephone where your reality got lost in translation.
ESA 2023: BRANDED AS BARRIER
Employment Services Assessment formally cited schizophrenia
The 2023 ESA (JSKID - 3420718409) stamped you with the scarlet letter of schizophrenia, limiting your work capacity to 8-14 hours/week and labeling you with "Moderate non-compliance" - a bureaucratic cage built from paper.
ATTEMPTED INVOLUNTARY SECTIONING
Labeled "suicidal" and "danger to myself but to society"
Dr. Scott Wilsmore attempted to strip away your freedom under the Mental Health Act 2007 based on this phantom diagnosis - the ultimate consequence of a system that values its own records over human reality.
WHAT HAPPENED
STIMULANTS ONLY
Duromine/Metermine (phentermine) - stimulants that WORSEN psychosis
Pharmacy records tell the real story: you were prescribed stimulants - medications that would send anyone with actual schizophrenia into psychotic crisis. This contradiction is the smoking gun that exposes the entire charade.
ZERO ANTIPSYCHOTICS. EVER.
Complete absence of standard-of-care treatment for diagnosed condition
If you truly had schizophrenia requiring "urgent intervention," where were the antipsychotics? Their absence exposes the hollow core of this diagnosis - a label without substance, a treatment plan without logic.
THE REAL DIAGNOSIS
Dr. Chauhan (2025): ADHD, ASD Level 2, PTSD, Schizotypal Disorder
Dr. Manish Chauhan's comprehensive assessment finally painted an accurate picture, recommending Clonidine and Lisdexamfetamine - treatments that align with reality but would be downright dangerous for someone with schizophrenia.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE FLIP-FLOP
2019 "temporary" → 2024 "permanent," no clinical change
After 5 years of insisting your condition was "temporary" (denying you proper support), Services Australia suddenly decided it was "permanent" in 2024 - with zero new evidence. This wasn't medicine; it was administrative convenience masquerading as clinical judgment.
