Common Questions and Answers about Psychotic symptoms and ptsd
psychotic
Yes you can have PTSD and any mental illness for that matter for years and not know it. It's not like you're immediately informed of your condition when you develop any disorder. PTSD can also have some psychotic symptoms, they aren't just exclusive to things like schizophrenia.
The doctor said she has PTSD but it's not really psychotic i know she has something there and she was sexually abused from 6-12 years old she told the police when she was 13 so...That had a huge inpact.
Are you saying that you have symptoms of PTSD, and you believe it was triggered, or caused by adrenal insufficiency that is the result of head trauma?
I do believe that traumatic stress can be a result of existing adrenal insufficiency. My son had a lot of stress, prior to being diagnosed with secondary adrenal insufficiency ( as a result of a pituitary cyst ). He has been on hydrocortisone for almost 2 years, and rarely feels the type of stress he had before the diagnosis.
i have PTSD from combat and i take zoloft for this and i suffer from flashbacks and nightmares i also have schizophrenia and tardive dyskinesia i take geodon and congentin for this.
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?
I had a school counselor who would try to diagnose me with everything (maybe you have bpd, maybe you have OCD, maybe you have ADHD) and then when I told her the diagnosis I had from my doctor (PTSD, psychosis) then she would try to dismiss it and re-diagnose me. She would also tell other students my very specific problems and then get angry / yell at me when I told her I don't want medication.
This has stopped a year ago, but I found out she does the exact same thing to other students.
I only heard of it happening once to another person in my partial hospitalization group many years ago. I had a dissociative episode one time, but it was more like depersonalization. Your experience sounds like the dissociative amnesia that that other person had. He lost time. For myself, I only had it once. It was a long time ago, and I can't really remember the circumstances. I believe it lasted for 2 hours but I couldn't really say. I just didn't have a sense of time.
I have those issues that I previously stated. Medications worsen my hallucinations, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. No schizoaffective is not the only illness Im diagnosed with. I got fed up with medication and asked my psychiatrist if I could try ECT(electroconvulsive therapy) and he said no just try this new medication. He gave me latuda. First week on it I had a psychotic breakdown. I said **** it and stopped taking all my medications. I feel much better now.
I feel I’m doing everything I can but failing. I was accuaintance raped last year and ever since I’ve had weird symptoms down there that won’t go away. Ive been to numerous doctors, two sexual health clinics, two gynaecologists who all tell me I’m fine beside the high risk hpv diagnosis. But they all say that the hpv won’t be causing the itching discharge and burning. I’ve only been with my partner of six years-we are still together and I’ve never felt like this before the assult.
my daughter smoked meth for about three years and she experienced all the symptoms you are describing. but that was while she was on it. i dont know why she would be doing this if she is not smoking it. my daughter finally went to rehab and got off it. sorry you are going through this. stick around maybe someone with more knowledge will come along.
In 1998 I was diagnosed with ptsd and treated with top shelf anti psychotic medication within a few mths my diagnosis changed to skitsophinia and I was put on clozaral .12yrs later I came off all my medications and was told I was wrongly diagnosed a year later I had 2x minor strokes in the space of a week. It's now 5yrs later and I have a list of symptoms that can't be explained, tiredness. Not being able to sleep. Anger. OCD. Blurred vision at night. Frurstration.
