In “Diagnosis,” Wang writes about being diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder after suffering from hallucinations. She outlines the DSM-5 criteria for schizophrenia, which includes delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized speech, and notes that she found comfort in her diagnosis, as it meant that she was not “pioneering an inexplicable experience” (5). She also writes of her time working in the Stanford Department of Psychology as a lab manager, in which she diagnosed people with depressive disorder as part of a study.
