Common Questions and Answers about Psychotic break what happens

psychotic

Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn t until I had a psychotic break that I was diagnosed. It seems that after I was diagnosed (after my break) that I haven't gotten back to the "pre-break" feeling. (I stay in the depressed more than the mania) I know part of that is because of medications and we don't always want/need to get back to the "pre-break" feelings, but I am wondering... Does a psychotic break change our disorder to a permanently detiorated state? Does it just get worse on it's own?
447130 tn?1225470866 I just had my first psychotic break. At least that's what the diagnosis was. I was afraid of "I don't know what", when a train was coming, I ran for it. There was a fence in between or I'd be a gonner. I wandered around town at around 11 pm hoping someone would kill me. I couldn't get my thoughts straight no matter what happened. I was wishing i was a serial killer so I could kill myself over and over. It started 5 days ago because of Prednisone.
Avatar f tn Ok, I'm a first time mom to be... I don't know what happens first. Do you start having bad contractions then your water breaks? Or does your water break and contractions? I don't know about all this labor stuff.
Avatar m tn Has anyone on this forum ever had a psychotic break? What are they like? Can you control or remember them? Are there some people more prone than others? Can some people not have them? I'm afraid of these, as I don't want to harm anyone or myself, please help!! Any answers? Could I have had one before thinking it was a real bad panic attack?
1351968 tn?1278205300 In mood swings there are difficulties in the understanding of emotions and relations with people and ability to focus and understand things and make appropriate decisions but when a person encounters psychotic symptoms there is a full break in reality testing. If you are concerned about any specific symptoms you have it would be essential to discuss them with your psychiatrist and of course if you have any new symptoms of any kind always bring it to their attention.
Avatar m tn psychotic depression can encompass a wide variety of symptoms. i treat people with "psychotic depressions" a lot. Depending on what symptoms people are experiencing, different medications will be used. People will often respond very quickly to antipsychotic meds (even within days). The deeper depressive symptoms may take longer to fully resolve but that does not mean you cannot get feeling much much better relatively quickly.
603015 tn?1329862973 Yes of course like anything else. Before I recovered I would know things were not going well. I would not of course know the specifics. I would then speak to my psychiatrist. But if someone is completely psychotic they lose track of reality completely. As well a person's awareness they that have a psychiatric disability can be completely lost. I did once before I recovered stop medication and of course have to sign myself into the psychiatric hospital.
Avatar f tn As to your question that's complex. A manic episode is a mental change in that its a break from reality. A person's emotions are not normative to what is going on. It may impair judgement such as the grandiosity typical for mania where a person has an inflated sense of self importance. As for psychosis that is a sharp break from reality in logical and normative thinking.
1116728 tn?1276797124 I will say that when I was having my very powerful delusions I had no idea that they were delusions. I believed everything about them 100% and that to me it was very logical and made sense at that time. Once I was away from whatever was causing them long enough not only did I stop believing them, but I actually completely put them out of my head. I did not think about them again until I was confronted with the place that was central to the delusion.
Avatar n tn Well, I'm not sure about that. Antipsychotics don't work right away. Tranquilizers do. Antipsychotics, if they do work, work all the time. Tranquilizes only work for a short period of time and then wear off. If she took this as an antipsychotic injection, it would be during an emergency situation but she would have to take the shots for several months and then go on the medication for longer than that.
2010625 tn?1329372056 When I changed the meds I was taking to the gabapentin, I was so messed up I stopped taking my acyclovir too by accident, and had the most horrible genital herpes out break I had ever had, it was so bad it made the lymph gland in my groin swell which is something that had never happened to me with a genital herpes out break before. I know this was it because as the out break went away the lymph gland swelling went down too. Ugh I am so sick of being sick!

Avatar f tn After what you have been through who cares about modesty. The surgeons have dealt with naked bodies all through their training and could care less. I had foley put in so that I wouldn't pee which was what my doctor wanted and I had nio idea. General anesthesia usually does require incubation with a tube. No big deal. You might have a little sore throat for a day or two. Have you gotten your reselts on your lymph node status? Good luck.
