psychotic disorder nos code

ll start with our story, my 8yo little boy has current diagnoses of psychotic disorder NOS, mood disorder NOS, and ADHD, combined type. We are pending diagnoses of Schizoaffective disorder, Bipolar disorder with psychosis. It's been a rough road, and still is. His meds are constantly being changed, and we just had another hospitalization. I have hope for the future, and believe we can all find support here. What is your story?

I know of four bipolar 1 with or without psychotic features, bipolar 2, bipolar nos, and cyclothimia. With bipolar 1 you get full blown mania and major depression, with bipolar 2 you get hypomania and major depression. cyclothimia fluctuates between minor depression and hypomania. Bipolar nos is where they put you when you obviously show some symptoms of bipolar disorder but they do not know which classification to put you in.

schizophrenoform disorder, r/o psychotic disorder NOS, r/o MDD chronic with psychotic features, r/o alcohol abuse, partner relation problem Axis 2: no diagnosis with paranoid traits Axis 3 deferred Several months after discharge diagnosis (not by doctor who gave second opinion) amended to Axsis 1: MDD, in remission, r/o depression due to general medical condition (vestibular injury), adjustment disorder with depression/anxiety, partner relation problems, alcohol abuse.

My son is 8 1/2. He has multiple psych issues (psychotic disorder nos r/o schizoaffective bipolar type, mood disorder nos, r/o bipolar with psychosis; and ADHD), and has been on different meds throughout the last year, with two hospitalizations. He's been on the current ones for the past two months, with no big side effects (seroquel, latuda, Tenex, benadryl). He had something new happen today. Normally if he is sleepwalking, his eyes glaze over and I can tell he's not awake.

My son was tested for Autism years ago. There are 12 flags apparently and he only met 9 of them so his doctor said she wouldn't give it to him as a diagnosis. I noticed on one of his billing sheets the code for PDD. Pervasive Developmental Disorder, isn't that a diagnosis a step away from Autism? Does that mean he IS Autistic or only to a certain degree?? I dont get it. Please if anyone has any info it would be appreciated.

I've been questioning my diagnosis for the past couple of months so I figured I'd ask on this forum and see what a doctor thinks about it. I was seeing a psychiatrist for a few years but she stopped seeing me after diagnosing me with borderline personality disorder. She also diagnosed me with dysthymia, social anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive features.

When they were telling me I had psychotic disorder NOS they had me take my antipsychotics twice a day, once when I woke up and once when I went to sleep. I think it might be just to break up the dose more evenly than just taking it once a day.

I believe the 242.90 nos is a icd9 diagnosis code used for hospital billing referring to hyperthyroidism. Nos means not otherwise specified. The tsh would most likely be very low for hyperthyroidism along with elevated free t4. You need a copy of your labs for sure. I know it is a hassle to obtain but well worth it.

means to consider the possibility that the disorder exists but currently it is not certain. NOS is not otherwise specified, which means bipolar 1 and 2 and cyclothymia have been ruled out already, meaning the pdoc doesn't believe you have these diagnoses.

Most SSRIs and other anti-depressants did nothing. The ones that worked made me hypomanic. So I have bipolar disorder, but NOS because it doesn't fit I or II because I don't have "normal" mood (baseline) periods. Just varying degrees of bad depression and hypomania. I have to be on a mood stabilizer (Tegretol) to prevent me from getting hypomanic, although I've gotten hypomanic while on it before. I had bad side effects from Lithium.

Individuals with purging disorders often are normal or near normal weight. Currently, purging disorder is under Eating Disorder NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) in the DSM-IV TR diagnostic manuel for psychiatric disorders. To learn more about other eating disorders, visit the bella vita website.

On April 2nd I made the decision to admit myself to a psychiatric hospital due to a psychotic episode. The thing that I'm having the hardest time comprehending is if I induced the episode or not. I convinced myself that I was covered in fleas, I heard voices saying my name and calling me worthless in the past, & I experienced paranoia. I don't know what to think right now. I wish I could know if I made the symptoms worse or not...

My question is what is the difference between Bipolar disorder with psychotic features and Schizoaffective disorder? And which one sounds closest to what i am experiencing, if it's possible to answer?

Well there is a gradation between bipolar and schizophrenia such as bipolar with psychotic features (where a person experiences psychotic symptoms specifically during moodswings) and schizoaffective disorder, as was mentioned as I have where if untreated a person experiences psychotic symptoms at all times. Bipolar in some people can worsen over a life time, certainly if untreated and there are many subtypes of bipolar, including bipolar with psychotic features.

It works better than Geodon did for me but I take it for a psychotic disorder rather than a mood disorder but bipolar disorder can have psychotic symptoms and every medicine works differently for each person.

Last August I was diagnosed with Bipolar Spectrum Disorder, which is very close to BP NOS. I have more of the BP markers, but not as severe as BP2. I think far too many people aren't having their specialists take the time to ask many of the questions. I lived a miserable life pretty much since 25 suffereing from cyclical depression and I'm 40 now! What has changed is my meds and a diffferent way of therapy.

Hypomania is distinguished from mania by the absence of psychotic symptoms. In other words if there are psychotic features its mania. BP2's can get psychotic features in mania the same as anyone does. Is this what you are referring to on the Black Dog Site ?

ve had symptoms that could fall under acute stress disorder, panic disorder, general anxiety disorder, and depression. Sometimes the symptoms can fit in one catagory and then switch over to a different catagory. For example, in the past I've had frequent panic attacks throughout the day. Overtime, I've found triggers (more trivial than life threatening) for some while others just happen. Majority of the symptoms began after 2 years of profound stress.

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.

i was diagnosed with eating disorder NOS.. not otherwise specified. it is an actual diagnosis in the DSM. eating disorders vary in many aspects. some pple are afraid of food. some people dont like the texture. some ppl have been starved as a child and are tormented with issues regarding food. eating disorder NOS means that you meet the criteria for having an eating disorder but you do not meet the criteria for anorexia or bulimia. i had no issues with body image whatsoever.
