Here is what is going on, let me say right now I have not drunk alcohol for 5 months straight and I have not taken any illegal drugs for 3 months. Just to sum up that, as you'll probably ask that later.
I am asking if psychosis exists in bipolar disorder because I have been experiencing episodes that make it difficult to concentrate on anything. I frequently have blackouts, where I honestly cannot remember how I got from point A to point B.
She is 20 years old and in college. Today she told me she felt like she was having a psychotic breakdown.What is this kind of breakdown?
in short, I use to do drugs, marijuana, ketamine, mephedrone, speed. I stopped because marijuana gave me very severe panic disorder.. which 2 and a half years later I'm still suffering with, no where near as badly though, it's more like anxiety disorder now.
Anyway i was clubbing yestarday, was kind of anxious because I always am, don't go out much because of anxiety etc etc. and I was drinking, I was not drunk, maybe slightly tipsy.
Actually I have schizhoaffective disorder and that sounds like what you are talking about. Schizoaffective is schizophrenia with a mood disorder, in my case bipolar but as you are describing depression. I would speak to a psychiatrist. Schizoaffective disorder is actually more common than schizophrenia and more easily treated. You could also have depression with psychotic features. I could explain the difference between the two but a psychiatrist could explain it.
I've had a couple of episodes lately when I drink heavily. I often drink pretty heavy once a week, usually on a Friday. About a month ago, I had an episode where, according to a friend, I zoned out and started making faces. He said it was like I lost my mind. It only lasted a couple of minutes.
There are SO many stark differences between a psychotic mental illness, and an anxiety disorder. Nearly 20% of the US population is diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, that's a LOT of people. And that doesn't include the people who have suffered but not been officially diagnosed.
I would recommend that you seek professional help for the anxiety, as it has been an issue for you for a long time. Therapy is vital, and meds may be something worth considering as well.
14 years old is indeed young but it might be psychotic episodes or something somehow leading to bi-polarity as it could be and it is very likely, that is is schizo but at this age who knows if she's just shizotypal or schizoid, well you wanna know if it's a personality disorder or a psychotic disorder. In females real psychotic disorders tend to appear later than in men, who are starting to get symptoms between adolescence and early adulthood.
It has been reported that Britney stopped taking her medication for bi-polar disorder because she thought it wasn't working. When you start taking an anti-depressant or anti-psychotic drug your symptoms may initially increase before your medicines start to work. You should be observed regularly by your doctor, and tell a friend or family member that you are taking this medication. If you have distressing thoughts or experiences go to your doctor or hospital.
t say I know what specifically causes it in the brain (nor can ANYONE or it would be CURED), but I do know how it is classified and I also know the unfortunate kind of misdiagnosing that goes on with unskilled psychiatrists and doctors whom have never seen this illness before. Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder because reality testing is lost, however, reality testing remains during DP/DR episodes.
Holiday blues can affect anyone, especially people with things like bipolar disorder. Depressive episodes I don't think are required for bipolar disorder 1 to be diagnosed and only mania is required but they frequently occur. With psychotic features just means you experience psychotic symptoms when manic and/or depressed but particularly while manic.
