psychotic episode i

I wish this was like face book so I could like your comment, lol.

Dont know - i went nearly 15 years not on meds and i thought i was fine until I wasnt and went psychotic manic, so you might be fine for a long time as well. And I wasnt fine, I was hypomanic and looking back had at least 3 mini breakdowns and burnouts in that time.

They usually only happen in the morning, sometimes they pass and I put them down to a bad dream but other times I physically get up and go on a hysterical rampage through the house, sometimes I hurt myself. I am I feel out of glucose but not energy. My partner I live with does not have the strength to hold me down to take a blood sample. Would it be better if my partner just stuck a glucagon needle in me and ask questions later.

What you are experiencing is in the class of neurological events called (loosely) a psychotic episode. I have them, too, but mine are very mild... I just see some shadows that aren't there sometimes. Please see your doctor about this as soon as possible, to rule out things like your brain not receiving enough oxygen, blood work to rule out any danger of diabetes or low blood counts, things of that sort.

My second question is how do I (and of course, my psychiatrist) differentiate between whether I am bipolar with psychotic features or schizo-affective? I definitely have the cycles of mania and depression, starting about three years ago, would have auditory and visual hallucinations when severely depressed. Recently with this batch of mania, I have begun to have the auditory hallucinations too, as well as visual. I also am having some problems with disorganized thoughts and speech and delusions.

Let's say i suffer from psychotic depression.I read it is treat with a combination of antipsychotic and triciyclic antidepressants.

1. Hallucinations: believing something is there that actually is not there. Hearing something strange and knowing that it is strange is not a hallucination. The hallucinator perceives the voice; their brain says, "That's Dad calling me," with no doubt at all. The non-hallucinator hears the voice and says, "Could that possibly be Dad calling me? But he moved out a year ago.

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...

Sweating, anxiety attacks,hallucinating, rapid heart especially at night, paranoia, insomnia, staying busy, rapid impulses, fear of death and being alone, talking to god and seeing signs that arent there, i get a wierd nerve sensation under my forehead/nose sometimes after i eat. Any ideas would help, i was fairly a normal person until this and i dont understand it.???

Lets see feeling anxiety as I write this. Woke up this morning this way! Racing heart feel like I can't breathe upset stomach. I almost always have chest pain and stomach pain. I have anxiety 24/7 sometimes can't even leave my house because I feel so ill/nervous/sick. I take .5 klonopin actually on half of one and that helps me calm down most of the time. We to ER once because I was getting real bad heart palps doc said I should take a whole one. But half of one knocks me out.

I am not in an episode and have had hallucinations very rarely, I do not understand why I must take a mood stabilizer and an antiphyscotic? How do they differ?

I think she was overly concerned. She kept telling one lady that I was having problems with my mother in ill health. The lady always mentioned the gossiper all the time like we were big buddies. My mother is getting old and I expect certain illnesses will affect her but I felt it was over done by the gossiper. And I felt it was overly done. I don't like people putting their own spin on things to suit their needs. Some people do live through other people.

Is it possible to hallucinate while having a mixed episode? I believe I have.

Hello. What is a better exam of the brain to see if a psychotic episode history is caused by something in the brain, ex. tumor etc.? MRI or CT scan? And why? Thank you.

Hi, I had a psychotic episode after being on fentanol pain patches for just a few weeks. I was hallucinating, having vivid dreams and felt really sedated. I use Lidoderm patches instead and don't have any side effects from it. I LOVE Lyrica and wouldn't give it up for nothing or anyone -- I would certainly challenge my dr before giving it up. I'm sorry your hubby left you and your children. Concentrate on getting better and if you and he work it out later then it was meant to be.

It could be a mixed episode or it could just be regular mania. I get pretty aggressive when I am manic....at least more than usual. My mixed episode is more like being on cloud nine then falling into crying depression then panic attacks. A mixed episode for me is more intense and more dangerous than just regular mania.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar Type 2 about 2 years ago, but I don't know how much this fits me. I've been diagnosed with Major Depression with recurrent episodes for about 12 years now. I don't know if I agree with the dx. I had one what you would call manic episode, but I'm not sure if it was a manic episode. I definetely felt like I had the hyperinflated confidence.

I have a history of pretty bad PMS and depression twice in my life related to life events. I have never felt manic before the episode and I remember everything and even questioned the validity of it a few times during the delusions. Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Its also worth mentioning here that sometimes during this Non-Psychotic state I also do a lot of household work ( both outside and inside ) with enthusiasm although there is depression in my subconscious mind.

I have been diagnosed with dissociative disorder and ptsd before i had a major psychotic episode where i felt everything was repeating itself war, protests from the native people blocking major highways, noise of airplanes, it was canada day. I am a survivor of a war, my city was under siege for two months i lost friends at 14, I've seen a lot of sadness in my younger years but i don't understand why this hit me at 41. I am scared to be in that mental state again.

I start hoarding for a rainy day. I get real psychotic and paranoid. My last episode I went into mixed state...depression and mania. Not a pleasant feeling.

Can paranoid personality disorder develop into paranoid schizophrenia?A person from my family went undiagnosed for many years despite strange behavior, only when she had a psychotic episode did she allow us to take her to a doctor and was diagnosed with paranoid disorder. The symptoms fit her "usual" symptoms (i.e. those she's had for years) - relatively coherent delusions of being disliked, plotted against, of her flat being bugged, someone stealing things when she's out.

I have Bipolar 1 and as Xila31 said mine seems to have gotten worse as I age. I have psychotic features when I am depressed and when I am manic. I tend to be paranoid and have all sorts of hallucinations. Perhaps you should ask your or your ex's doctor for their view on it. Hope this helps some.
