psychotic disorder nos criteria

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.

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. you may have an eating disorder or you may just be experiencing loss of appetite due to your pre-existing condition. whatever the underlaying problem is it needs to be fixed.. FOOD IS FUEL!

It was just sort of a random brain fart without any real logic. It seems to me PDD NOS is sort of a "catch all" for various things that may or may not be occuring. In my opinion PDD NOS needs revision done more than anything else in the autism/developmental concerns. I joke it's the DSM's verson of "I don't know what the heck you have but it's pervasive and affecting your development." It also seems to be a concern for insurances and getting services...

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.

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.

I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and now they changed my diagnosis to Mood Disorder NOS. Does anyone know what that is?

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.

Our son, at 9, is now diagnosed Aspergers (Autistic), ADHD with Impulsivity and Sensory Processing Disorder-( the old Sensory Intergration Disorder). Basically, it all means, we have a great kid as I stated on other post! He's not your 'typical' kid, but whose is? All the years of listening to well-meaning friends with my poor Autistic Child.

The problem with getting a second opinion is getting one, then you become the doctor. I was given medication more suitable to a patient in greater need than my condition. Not long into this course of meds I discovered that they actual made my condition worse. Disclaimer, I'm not a doctor. Subsequently I went with the depression medication. It didn't make me feel worse but it did seem to help somewhat. That little help provided the basis of me working on my problem myself.

My son has a diagnosis of autism however socially he did not fall within the diagnostic criteria for autism, he has good eye contact, is loving and plays with other children (although his play skills are delayed). He does how ever display repetitive and stim behaviours and although verbal he has language difficulties specifically with conversation and is often echolaic. There were enough issues to give him a diagnosis of ASD.

I would go back to your GP/Paediatrician and tell them you want referring to a multi-disciplinary team that has experience of diagnosing autism and aspergers. Have you googled DSM IV Aspergers/Autism/PDD NOS to get the clinical criteria the professionals are looking for? As you will see any child only has to get some of the behaviours in the areas mentioned. I would then begin making a daily diary of behaviours he shows that meets the criteria.

Have a look at the DSM IV criteria for PDD NOS and Autism (or autistic spectrum disorder). The criteria says problems with speech and communication (which your son has). Problems with needing a rigid routines or being inflexible (which your son has). The need for things to remain the same usually indicates poor imagination and flexibility of thought. Sensory issues (typical of ASD, but not in the criteria).

If you click on the Health Page icon on the top right hand corner of this forum page, go into The Behavioural Charteristics behind a Diagnosis of an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. I have posted the DSM IV Clinical Criteria and parents have posted examples of their child's behaviour that meets the criteria. This should give you some ideas of what the professionals are looking for.

I would make sure it was not neurological in origin as well because psychosis and dementia can occur in elderly people from conditions that are not psychiatric. "Impaired executive functioning" sounds more neurological in origin to me.

Does not occur exclusively during the course of schizophrenia, a bipolar disorder or a depressive disorder with psychotic features, or another psychotic disorder and is not attributable to the physiological effects of another medical condition.

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.

If in some way you are aware what is occurring is not real it might potentially be part of anxiety disorder but a psychiatrist would have to make that distinction. Psychosis can occur in depression with psychotic features and sometimes in severe depression and other criteria as well. There is the concern of stigmatization as regards seeing a psychiatrist which is understandable but it would be worthwhile to follow up as they could provide greater help with this.

s impact on you? Or does your mother have bipolar disorder? I have recovered from schizoaffective disorder but I do have difficulties coping with my mother's bipolar disorder as she is not under treatment yet but will be. So I understand both aspects. But perhaps you could be more prescise for us as to what really went wrong.

bipolar d/o nos- which is bipolar disorder not otherwise specified. They do this because it is not an official bp dx. Which means it isnt set in stone, and it wont follow the child around from dr to dr as it leaves room for other possible dx's. Now, first I think the best thing u did was get an 'outburst' on video. That seems to prove the most effective in 'proving' to drs how severe a problem is.
