Does anyone else with a physical disability ever have doctors blame their physical illness symptoms on their psychosis? I feel like doctors sometimes don't even look for any physical issues if you have a psychosis diagnosis, they just assume your physical issues must be a psychological problem instead. I'd frequently complain about unusual intestinal symptoms and pain issues and have it blamed on 'hallucinations', without the doctors even looking into any potential physical conditions/issues that could be causing it instead (I don't even have medically recognized hallucinations). I've also heard of this happening to others, but I wonder how common it is to be medically gaslit when having a psychotic disorder diagnosis.
