psychotic disorder nos symptoms

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.

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?

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.

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.

I've been questioning my diagnosis for the past couple of months so I figured I'd ask on this forum and see what a doctor thinks about it. I was seeing a psychiatrist for a few years but she stopped seeing me after diagnosing me with borderline personality disorder. She also diagnosed me with dysthymia, social anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive features.

When they were telling me I had psychotic disorder NOS they had me take my antipsychotics twice a day, once when I woke up and once when I went to sleep. I think it might be just to break up the dose more evenly than just taking it once a day.

Well there is a gradation between bipolar and schizophrenia such as bipolar with psychotic features (where a person experiences psychotic symptoms specifically during moodswings) and schizoaffective disorder, as was mentioned as I have where if untreated a person experiences psychotic symptoms at all times. Bipolar in some people can worsen over a life time, certainly if untreated and there are many subtypes of bipolar, including bipolar with psychotic features.

Most SSRIs and other anti-depressants did nothing. The ones that worked made me hypomanic. So I have bipolar disorder, but NOS because it doesn't fit I or II because I don't have "normal" mood (baseline) periods. Just varying degrees of bad depression and hypomania. I have to be on a mood stabilizer (Tegretol) to prevent me from getting hypomanic, although I've gotten hypomanic while on it before. I had bad side effects from Lithium.

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...

ve had symptoms that could fall under acute stress disorder, panic disorder, general anxiety disorder, and depression. Sometimes the symptoms can fit in one catagory and then switch over to a different catagory. For example, in the past I've had frequent panic attacks throughout the day. Overtime, I've found triggers (more trivial than life threatening) for some while others just happen. Majority of the symptoms began after 2 years of profound stress.

It works better than Geodon did for me but I take it for a psychotic disorder rather than a mood disorder but bipolar disorder can have psychotic symptoms and every medicine works differently for each person.

My question is what is the difference between Bipolar disorder with psychotic features and Schizoaffective disorder? And which one sounds closest to what i am experiencing, if it's possible to answer?

I have been a psych patient for 13 years and I'm 32. When I was 19, the pdoc thought I had postnatal psychosis, then about a year later they thought I could have schizoaffective disorder. I only know this now because my current pdoc told me, at the time when my family pressed for a diagnosis they were told I had "affective disorder with psychotic features". I strongly believe that our symptoms evolve over the years as our lives change, we learn coping skills etc.

First off, thank you to all who spoke up for me the other day. I needed a little reassurance. In the doctors (pleural - my gp was told by the docs who work for the insurace company) defense, I have no sign, really, of organic disease. In order to explain my difficulties, they came up with somatization disorder. I spent yesterday researching somatization disorder, all over the world wide web. I then RE-researched the neuropathic pain which brought me to them. You know?

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 ?

Individuals with purging disorders often are normal or near normal weight. Currently, purging disorder is under Eating Disorder NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) in the DSM-IV TR diagnostic manuel for psychiatric disorders. To learn more about other eating disorders, visit the bella vita website.

bipolar disorder is classified as BP I, BP II , cyclothemia and NOS. Usually they refer to the case where the person has mild bipolar disorder like cyclothemia or BP III as soft bipolar. as for Bipolar III, the person is not originally drowned into the illness i.e. not a classical case of BP he could have been dx OCD say, but underneath traits of BP so he will have had minor bipolar symptoms going back years, as many with late-onset bipolar do.

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 am a 31 year old married guy and I have been suffering from the following psychiatric symptoms since last 10 years.I have an underlying cause of depression bcoz of failing in the career front , actually being an engineering dropout with seeing no hope for the future and also being a stammerer / stutterer resulting in tremendous anxiety lasting since last 14 years or so.

Yes, sensory integration disorder is a separate diagnosis from PDD, aspergers and autism. People can have one without the other or they can have both. But sensory symptoms are considered common with autism but not an actual symptom to diagnose. I wish you much success with your son as I'm sure it is hard. My own son was diagnosed at 4 with sensory integration disorder.

With psychotic features just means you experience psychotic symptoms when manic and/or depressed but particularly while manic. Psychosis from bipolar disorder can possibly be recovered from fully with the right medication unlike let's say schizophrenia for example where classically the patient usually doesn't recover to baseline fully after their first full psychotic break with the current medications out there.
