Common Questions and Answers about Psychotic break cats
psychotic
My pdoc yesterday told me it's possible to have a psychotic break from too severe anxiety. This scares me bad, what is that? Does that mean I'll go crazy and hurt someone? Myself? Has anyone ever had one of these? Also is there anyone here that has had several months of severe anxiety, then slowly goes back to several months of calm? I'm afraid this feeling will last forever. Just to make sure I'm experiencing this "anxiety" what does it feel like to u all?
t until I had a psychotic break that I was diagnosed. It seems that after I was diagnosed (after my break) that I haven't gotten back to the "pre-break" feeling. (I stay in the depressed more than the mania) I know part of that is because of medications and we don't always want/need to get back to the "pre-break" feelings, but I am wondering...
Does a psychotic break change our disorder to a permanently detiorated state? Does it just get worse on it's own?
I have seen two cats turn psychotic. In both cases it was not an off-again-on-again thing. Although there were signs before that these cats were not entirely normal, once they showed overt psychotic behavior, there were no normal periods. Each became exceedingly dangerous. If you look at their eyes the condition is obvious.
I personally would keep the cat in and get a box. The biggest cause for the bacteria is from cats that go outside. Indoor cats sometimes don't even carry the bacteria. If you do get scratched then wash immediately with soap and water. People can be immune to it and you can get it from lots of other things not just cats.
re psychotic. Your cats are not psychotic. They are playing with you. Play requires an intense ability to concentrate on deliberate behaviors, which your cats do. They do find it amusing, and that is the point for them, as every cat lives to be amused when not sleeping. Case in point: I have six cats. All of them are allowed in and out whenever they want. Thing is that we must open the door for them. Use your imagination: six cats, a human door-opener...
one thing thats almost impossible to do is put a bandage on a kitty....they will work at it until its off..and theres not need, if theres no bleeding/limping or crying in pain than I'm sure it would be alright, kitties break and tear off parts of their nails all the time.....
yes we want the pretty features and don't consider the poor health conditions it contributes to these poor little creatures.
With the runny eyes/nose the cause is the DEEP indent in the nose called 'break' this blocks off the natural draining of their eyes and nose therefore since they can't drain 'properly' the drainage spills over and outside their eyes and nose.
As to your question that's complex. A manic episode is a mental change in that its a break from reality. A person's emotions are not normative to what is going on. It may impair judgement such as the grandiosity typical for mania where a person has an inflated sense of self importance. As for psychosis that is a sharp break from reality in logical and normative thinking.
t it be too painful or something? ive read that its dangerous for cats who have just gotten spayed to jump cos the stitches might break or internal bleeding may occur, but i just dont know how to stop her. I can't be watching her every minute of the day.
I can't even keep her in a cage because she drinks so much water that she keeps needing to pee. Ive tried keeping a box with a bit of her litter in it (i can't fit the "toilet" she usually uses), but she refuses to use it.
Hi, hon, there are many vets that will offer a sedative pill for your cat. There is an injection available, but most vets prescribe the pill. My vet most definitely does give me pills before I bring my cats in-that way they're calm in the car and at the vet's office. Not one time has it been suggested to gas my cats!! You don't know how upset that made me hearing that your vet wants to do that. That is just totally unbelievable!!
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.
These actions can break the delicate capillaries in the ear pinna causing a pocket of blood to fill up and since there is no outlet the blood has to be removed in a procedure either with a needle or with a surgical procedure. So I think that your cat is bothered by the ear problem. The best option is of course to have your cat seen by your vet since not doing anything will cause the ear to fibrose down into a cauliflower ear, like a prize fighter.
Ok. But is it common to be manic all year round like I am. Even with the meds. Like I said I only hit the depressive mode when I hear a certain melody or when its those to holidays but I never stay in it for long. But I wouldnt say just depressed its mixed.
Can anyone tell me why my cats are eating ants straight out of a nest in my garden? Is there some kind of dietary deficiency or do they just like the taste? Never seen anything like this before. They are only going to one nest (there must be loads in the garden) and the ants are small and black.
I have been married to my husband since my 7-year-old stepdaughter was just 3. We have always had a good relationship, though I have felt like she is clingy and perhaps a tad manipulative. She is the only child of two only children, and the only grandchild of well-off grandparents who spoil her rotten. She lives with her mother and grandmother in a city 3 hours away.
sounds to me like patches is just very territorial and male cats usually are that i've seen. or maybe even jealous. since he's still young i think he may grow out of it.
To GingerA I Started Hearing Voices Since 2008 Going on Four years, I been hearing the same things in a City I used to live at and now i moved about over hundred miles from the city all they do over is yell at holograms calling them BttleFckr or Quntera Spirits in another part of a new city. i cant tell you about imagery because its very strange to see them they dont frighten me . i just continue watching t.v and ignore them...frm IpodLmx..
It stems from mistakes I made when I had my psychotic break a few years ago. I did some things that just shame me to no end - mostly financial. Some of them were apparent when I lost everything (financially) and some others aren't completely out there. And of course, my suicide attempt that very few people close to me know about.
This panic has led to anxiety and the anxiety to severe depression.
If getting rid of the cats is not possible (or make sure before you do something drasatic), try increasing the cleaning of the house and cats. Wash the cats once a week with plain water to remove the build up of dander, dry them as much as possible to limit the amount of licking them do to dry themselves. If possible find and use a product allerpet-c that denatures (breaks down) the cat dander so it can't cause as much of an allergic reaction.
