psychotic laughter

The difference between a psychotic and a neurotic is that, while a psychotic thinks that 2 + 2 = 5, a neurotic knows the answer is 4, but it worries him.

they say laughter is the best medicine!!! and its good for us and free!!!!!!!!!!! huge respect for you on 35 days, hope you laugh a lot more!

speed perscribed, soon the worst psychotic episode eventuated. Demonic laughter, voice guiding him, TV and radio talking to him/ with him, violent thoughts, feelings, desires and visions of eyes always watching what people were up to. Frightening in the level of aggression and violent desires towards his partner (our daughter) she fled in terror of him and sought immediate help.

I am worried that my daughter may have depression she zones out alot going into really deep thinking she will move her self from others for hours she will look depressed and won't talk to anyone she self harms and out of no where she will burst into laughter she will paint & draw very violent pictures she crys for no reason sometimes she is also very paranoid and sometimes she can't eat because of it. She is only 15 please someone give me an explanation....

I worry that I am having mania. I have trouble controlling my laughter in public. I cannot stop once I start, and I have little or no real reason to respond in this manner. Will I level off? Can I continue to up dosage to desired therapeutic level of 150mg without going completely bonkers??!! Thanks for any advice.

So we did it with humor and alot of laughing-alot of people posted just saying thank you for the laughter,so I guess we helped alot of people but at the same time alot of people thought it was in the wrong place.So I moved it over here and hopefully we will get laughing again and make it alittle easier for some to get throught the night.

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...

can anyone share their experiences with psychotic mania or bipolar with psychotic features? i have no idea where mine are heading but they are here, and they are not backing down.

my 22 year old son just experienced a psychotic break. I need to understand how he was feeling. Is there anyone who has personally experienced this, and would be willing to describe what you felt? I am desperate to understand what he is going through.

5 which I feel fine.. As of late I have been waking up with what my friend believes is psychotic episodes, moments of ultra confusion for me as I usually have no recolection. It is now getting to the point where I could hurt myself as I thrash about and walk into walls. I had a CT Scan which showed no problem. These attacks which I thought where TIA"s (Transient ischaemic attacks) mini strokes if you like proved otherwise..

Not every breakdown is psychotic. I had a complete mental breakdown about 16 years ago or so which lead to 3 years of crushing depression - my illness course leaves me prone to this type of breakdown. However not being on meds? 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.

I am currently recovering from a severe depression with suicide ideation in which i apparently had psychotic symptoms. Has anyone else had psychosis without knowing what it was until speaking to your therapist about what was going on? and does anyone have any advice as to what to look for in oneself when psychosis starts?

My pdoc yesterday told me it's possible to have a psychotic break from too severe anxiety. This scares me bad, what is that? Does that mean I'll go crazy and hurt someone? Myself? Has anyone ever had one of these? Also is there anyone here that has had several months of severe anxiety, then slowly goes back to several months of calm? I'm afraid this feeling will last forever. Just to make sure I'm experiencing this "anxiety" what does it feel like to u all?

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?

Body's Response to Repetitive Laughter Is Similar to the Effect of Repetitive Exercise, Study Finds ScienceDaily (Apr. 26, 2010) — Laughter is a highly complex process. Joyous or mirthful laughter is considered a positive stress (eustress) that involves complicated brain activities leading to a positive effect on health. Norman Cousins first suggested the idea that humor and the associated laughter can benefit a person's health in the 1970s.

How long does this psychotic behavior last? And is the psychotic behavior as a result of withdrawal. I have been using Cranberry Juice to flush it out of my son's system. He is not bipolar for he does not get sad. Bipolars get sad, not angry. My son never gets sad. He gets psychotic from good mood to psychotic mood in a split second within a conversation. I, the mother, is always on eggshells with him.

by Goldy011983, 15 minutes ago Hi, Diabtecis can easily be controlled by exercise. Laughter Yoga is kind of exercise. pls google it out about laughter yoga and its impact on blood sugar. I will tell my experience. Last week I went for standard health check-up. As instructed I was on fast from last night. They collected my blood and urine sample at 9 A.M. Then I was offered breakfast at 9.15 am.

I now know I always had behavior that was unusual and somewhat abnormal since I was a child, first started having psychotic thoughts when I was 13 and then at the age of 18 had a full psychotic break. I never really felt like myself until I started that treatment in clinical study but once I did could look back and see that I always had behavior patterns and obsessions that were markedly abnormal.

Actually that can happen as part of bipolar or other psychiatric disabilities. Sometimes its a reaction from people who don't have it such as nervous laughter. Its not whether you laughed. Its what you felt inside and I'm sure you really didn't find it funny. As for the clinical term for it google "inappropriate affect". Very common depending on how people are doing. People can see someone getting angry over nothing but the same can occur with other emotions.

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 ?

I think that bipolar disorder can be with or without psychotic features. Since you seem to be having some psychosis then I would say you have it with. I think they have to observe you over time to get an acurate diagnosis. Therefor you would have to meet the diagnostic creiteria outlined in the DSM IV to recieve a diagnosis.
