Jaquta - Yes, I have read through the DSM-IV criteria. That's how I came up with an Anxiety disorder self diagnosis, and why I'm rejecting the Psychosis/Schizophrenia diagnosis, and rejecting the depression diagnosis. Churnman - You're right, after getting a second (different) diagnosis there sure is a heavy decision to make. Good luck in getting healthy! Mickey88 - Yes, I identify most with an Anxiety disorder.

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?

First of all, there is no clear consensus as to how many types of bipolar disorder exist. In DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10, bipolar disorder is conceptualized as a spectrum of disorders occurring on a continuum. The DSM-IV-TR lists four types of mood disorders which fit into the bipolar categories: Bipolar I, Bipolar II, Cyclothymia, and Bipolar Disorder NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) like I said, so I was in fact numerating the aknowledged types only, yet articles tell you there are even more than 5.

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.

I am Bi Polar with psychotic features and was experiencecing someithing very similar to what your son goes through but it was more a rage/angel and demons thing - SEROQUEL! Total life saver. I take it daily. The PDR and DSM IV doesn't recommend it but the FDA jsut approved it for longer use in the treatment of BiPolar Disorder for mania and depression.

According to the DSM-IV-TR, a diagnosis of Bipolar I disorder requires one or more manic or mixed episodes. The criteria for Bipolar I (Bipolar Type 1, BP 1, or BPD 1) are defined in the DSM-IV-TR. The current or previous course of the illness may include hypomanic and depressive episodes also, but the diagnosis of BP I requires only one manic or mixed episode.

The intrapsychic stress imposed by trying convert one's desire to throttle one's neurologist into more constructive, and legal, impulses. Often resulting in bouts of twitching, hypertension and other signs of CNS sympathetic arousal, elevated temperature, weeping, pleading, begging and in advanced stages, complete despondency. Conversion disorder is a diagnosis of exclusion; the exclusion of the offending neurologist from the consulting room often results in complete remission.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Actually, ILADVOCATE, Depresonalization and Derealization ARE NOT due to psychosis or a psychotic illness. They are symptoms of dissociation. Check it out in the "DSM". It clearly classifies Depersonalization and Derealization as dissociative states. I have had this illness my whole life and it causes me great fear. It is dissociation. I was misdiagnosed as being psychotic and three doctors overturned that diagnosis.

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.

The diagnostic criteria for each disorder can be found in the dsm-iv. Try typing in dsm-iv for borderline personality disorder (bpd) or bipolar or schizophrenia.

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.

There is still much to learn. However, according to the DSM IV, it is pretty clear that 7 days is the cut-off. If your fiancee says they last more than a week, even if rarely, your manic symptoms bump you to bipolar disorder I. But, hey, we're not pdocs. Why aren't you asking yours? I know mine uses the DSM as a guideline and would not arbitrarily let one day of symptoms make all the difference.

You are bound to have some concerns if autism is already in the family. But children can have strange interests and not be on the spectrum. On the autism forum, if you click on the Health Page link at the top right hand corner of the forum page I have posted the diagnostic criteria under DSM IV for autism and have asked parents to post examples of their childs' behaviour that fits the criteria. This will give you examples of the behaviours the professionals are looking for.

Yes schizophrenia doesnt have any mood changes but there are a whole spectrum of conditions in between such as bipolar with psychotic features and schizoaffective disorder which involve both psychosis and mood changes. Sometimes certain concerns such as psychosis can increase over time become more apparent or are more in need of treatment. Bipolar with psychotic features is generally defined by psychotic thoughts or auditory or other hallucinations occuring only during mood swings..
