psychotic behavior characteristics

How long does this psychotic behavior last? And is the psychotic behavior as a result of withdrawal. I have been using Cranberry Juice to flush it out of my son's system. He is not bipolar for he does not get sad. Bipolars get sad, not angry. My son never gets sad. He gets psychotic from good mood to psychotic mood in a split second within a conversation. I, the mother, is always on eggshells with him.

I now know I always had behavior that was unusual and somewhat abnormal since I was a child, first started having psychotic thoughts when I was 13 and then at the age of 18 had a full psychotic break. I never really felt like myself until I started that treatment in clinical study but once I did could look back and see that I always had behavior patterns and obsessions that were markedly abnormal.

my 22 year old son just experienced a psychotic break. I need to understand how he was feeling. Is there anyone who has personally experienced this, and would be willing to describe what you felt? I am desperate to understand what he is going through.

I would not put a child as young as yours on serious psychotic medication without a second (or even third) consult. I also question the ADHD diagnosis for a baby. Just my two cents worth ....

Hello. What is a better exam of the brain to see if a psychotic episode history is caused by something in the brain, ex. tumor etc.? MRI or CT scan? And why? Thank you.

If you are saying he is having psychotic behavior that does not sound (to me ) as something caused by withdrawl .Slight paranoia is one thing highly paranoid is another .There may be an underlying problem that he was using the drugs to mask ? Do you think that is possible.

I have been diagnosed with depression with psychotic features but every time I am hospitalized they diagnose me with schizoaffective disorder.

I have problem with my son's behavior . he doesn't have ADHD or anything like that he just doesn't listen . I have tried to talk with him in nice way , spank him I have tried everything and nothing works with him. he does listen for day or two and back to old habits . please give me some advice .

These delusionary thoughts kept escalating even after he left the job, now transfered towards his mother again, his behavior became more self gratifying, impulsive, irratic and he started getting obsessional about his music. He did start seeing a psych who put him on anti-psychotics but his behavior kept escalating and becoming worse not better.

they are only marginally useful for professionals and totally confusing for nonprofessionals. Focus on the behavior and the causes of the behavior. If your child is moody and irritable and depressed, then try to enter into a dialogue with your child about that and how he or she behaves.

Pysch said he has developmetal delays and sensory integration disorder(not a diagnosis) Psychologist reports- As of right now they say that he has characteristics of ASD as well as significant problems with adaptive behavior and physical self care. Stating that profiles like his are typical among individuals who have found to have developmental delays. SLP- Speech fluency and vocal characteristics both were observed to be developmentally appropriate.

He and I are extreme extroverts, we think very fast, and I know when I am manic, his everyday characteristics resemble my mania to a T! He also used to have anger problems, which have leveled out now, he's gotten help, but sometimes he gets VERY irritable, and angry because no one can keep up with his mind. I have noticed some mild depression in him every once in a great while, usually related to situations though.

I do remember past days such as in college when I engaged in (this would apply to me only) manic or emotional acting out behavior or even potential psychotic behavior. There I was in the wrong but it was uncontrollable. I now think of that as the past and would not approach those people again. I take care as regards my own treatment and how I approach people so I expect to be treated with respect in return, the same as anyone else, no better.

Well, I'm not sure about that. Antipsychotics don't work right away. Tranquilizers do. Antipsychotics, if they do work, work all the time. Tranquilizes only work for a short period of time and then wear off. If she took this as an antipsychotic injection, it would be during an emergency situation but she would have to take the shots for several months and then go on the medication for longer than that.

All you can really do is set reasonable limits and pay attention to the behavior itself, not so much to her thoughts about the behavior. In addition, how parents themselves behave is very important, because children absorb that influence. In this esne, your husband's behavior is illuminating - it conveys the very characteristics that you do not want toencourage in your daughter.

In fact, I have excellent general health, so my quesiton is mostly one of curiosity. I know diagnosis cannot be made without genetic testing, but do my symptoms/characteristics suggest I ought to get this checked out? My MD did send my to have my descending aorta scanned just to be on the safe side, after I told him about my dad and his family. All is well with it. Thanks in advance for any insight.

I was wondering if someone could tell me which is better to examine someone looking for any cause of psychotic episodes -- MRI or CT scan? Also, what conditions might show up on either exam as the source of the problem? Thank you.

My limited understanding of giftedness and research on the subject lends me to believe that alot of these characteristics are directly associated with his giftedness. He needs to learn some coping skills and I am all for that. When do you differentiate giftedness from other behavioral problems? What would you recommend to ensure my son does not receive a mis-diagnosis.

Adderall is an amphetamine with high potential for abuse, controlled substance, may lead to drug dependence, may exacerbate behavior disturbances and thought disorders, and psychotic episodes. It is true with misuse or abuse may cause heart problems such as heart palpitations, arrhythmia, and even cardiac arrest. Most at risk are individuals that have a preexisting heart condition that the one wasnt aware. Hope this provides a perspective, it is not definitive but a very good question.

I cannot find a reference for "Clomaphranil" so I'm not sure what you are taking in that regard. I see the Luvox is a SSRI. In any case, I'm thinking about two things because I take one SSRI and one benzo each night and I lead a very normal life. The first is that you were over-medicated or possibly the second is that you have depression that was not being treated by these medications.

Understand that technically, everyone has ADHD to some extent. Just because you sometimes display ADHD behavior doesn't mean you have it. But yes, #1 shows inattentiveness. And #2 shows impatience/impulsiveness. Both are ADHD characteristics.

and the doctor wanted to change her to Lamictal. We started to switch her and her behavior got very bad. so we stopped all medicines. Now she is not doing good in school. She is in first grade and has to have someone sit with her at all times just to get her to finish one page of work. she has a hard time staying on track. she doesn't sleep much. the past two weeks she hasn't gone to bed before midnight and even one oclock at times. How do I handle her.

Regardless if a person has thoughts or ideas that show a strong departure from reality or reality testing that is generally considered psychotic. Mania and depression are easier to explain. If a person only has psychotic thoughts during moodswings that is generally classified as bipolar with psychotic features. That is of course treatable. See a psychiatrist you trust more and ask them why they see what they are diagnosing in you and how it can be treated.

Maine Coon kitties love to play fetch. Fetching and owning a dog behavior are two predominant characteristics of this breed. Being a kitten, I wouldn’t doubt it if she was rambunctious and playful. She’ll settle when she matures more. I have a cat that fetches and I love it. He isn’t Maine Coon. A lot of cats greet their owners at the door. Your kitten is pretty normal, I’d say. You’re lucky she displays her Maine Coon characteristics like this. I just think fetching looks wonderful in a cat.

“Bath Salts” is an awful drug, they are so addicting that users crave the drug even after experiencing a trip to the Emergency Room with psychotic episodes brought on by hallucinations and delusions of super-human strength. Unlike Meth and Cocaine, however, standard Emergency Room procedures for treating Meth and Cocaine overdose do not work well with “Bath Salts.

My bipolar husband has become extremely controlling. I read others' posts and it's like he's being described to a T, so I guess I'm not alone.
