I strongly believe that our symptoms evolve over the years as our lives change, we learn coping skills etc.

A person from my family went undiagnosed for many years despite strange behavior, only when she had a psychotic episode did she allow us to take her to a doctor and was diagnosed with paranoid disorder.
