This episode I think is maybe because my brain is lacking the essensial ingridient, glucose! 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.
I like valerinababy's analogy. Recovery from any kind of mood episode has at least three stages -
1. Feeling better - some kind of noticeable improvement. Usually happens within a couple of weeks of getting on the right dose and type of medication.
2. Having minimal if any residual mood symptoms.
I am not a medical proffesional and I do have Bipolar Disorder but I imagine that when chemicals are upset in the brain anything is possible. The brain is where all thoughts start so when a defect occurs so does a deffective thought occur. I would defiently have the little one seen by a doctor for future counseling. That is a strong emotion to deal with at 11 years old.
5 cm anterior to right temporal lobe was found. He has c/o forgetfulness, h/a, and had a severe manic episode with auditory hallucinations and paranoia. Could all this be related to his cyst? No family history of bipolar disorder. Also, what would treatment be? Surgery? Expected recovery time? What are chances mania will recurr?
1st, having an initial psychotic episode at 38 is unusual, so it is probably not something squarely in the "psychotic family" of conditions. It is possible (although unlikely) to have an initial manic episode after having previous depressive episodes.
There is information that link paranoid/delusional thinking with menstruation, especially with a history of intense PMS (it is sometimes referred to as premenstrual dysphoric disorder, PMDD).
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 was on a psychotropic drug for about 4 months for an acute psychotic episode I experienced in the fall. While on the drug I experienced muscle tension and lightheadedness all the time, which got worse when I went from sitting to standing. I was only on a moderate dose. I was told to get off the drug by my gastroenterologist. I've been off of the drug for a month and a half now.
His doctor insists that the mental deterioration is a new symptom, but I am concerned it is more likely a drug interaction side effect. The use of anti-psychotic medications began about January 2008, when the patient (who had been taking Effexor, Paxil, and Xanax for mild depression, anxiety and insomnia) had a first-time ever episode of manic-type symptoms: racing thoughts, extreme insomnia, panic, and distorted thinking.
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?
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.
My biopsy on polyps in nasal passage was cleared and surgery was done ENT specialist in NYC.

Im an associate level mental health major and criteria isn't a match at all. MD claims its depression my brain blood tests say im depressed. I laugh i feel fine blood test say imbalance depressed.
After a fully manic or mixed episode, have you ever changed? I mean after you get back to 'stable' and everything...
I ask because my mania triggered other things (ie OCD and paranoia) to blow up, and although I'm stable, those things are not subsiding very much at all. I think this is my new 'normal'...
Just curious if anyone else feels different afterwards...
