    I knew i was treated for MDD but at one point my psychiatrist told me that i need more drugs cause i developed psychotic features.
    I didn't understand at first but then i realised how scared i was to be outside,feeling that people looking and laughing at me
    It is so strange how i ended up here
    Worst part is that most of the drugs she gave me ,makes me feel numbed and jombie like😢
    I just want to feel normal again.
    Just normal.....

      Hang in there. Maybe your doctor just hasn't found the right medication for you yet. Someday soon, You and your therapist may have a breakthrough realization soon and you could finally begin to heal from trauma You've hidden; buried deep in your mind. Recovery is possible, and you will get through this and heal those wounds within yourself so you can finally feel like you again. Understand how much strength you have within you, that has enabled you to endure what youve gone through up to this point. You're a bad ass, and you're going to get through this. I believe in you

    I have been on Abilify and Zoloft, as well as trazadone and klonopin for over a year. My auditory hallucinations have almost completely disappeared. I’m afraid to even bring up changing any med because it seems to be working. I’m still alive. Is there a point I need to reduce meds? I’m sure the voice will return if I stop Abilify. I don’t want to mess with what’s working.

    Just curious, I understand that psychosis and depression can occur together, but if psychosis tends to be based on hyperdopaminergic states in the striatum how can you have anhedonia at the same time? Wouldn't the antipsychotic tend to further contribute to the anhedonia? I know what I'm saying is gross oversimplification but I would like your the thoughts on the matter. I know antidepressants with antipsychotics are effective I just would like to understand better how it fits together. Thank you.

      I have all of it. I have been diagnosed with MDD w/psych feat. My family thinks have different disorders. Some think I'm schizo, some think I'm manic, some think I have personality disorder. It's a combination of all it. When my therapists and I have had multiple diagnosed me, they all came up with the same diagnosis. It's very complex to understand, and it's a combination of all these. It's like a mental illness buffet

    I have family members who are high on the narcissistic spectrum, who are clearly also depressed. They’re all delusional by nature, anyway, and with their unrealized goals (which are rooted in their false selves, and thus, don’t reflect their ACTUAL abilities, personalities, etc.), that leads them to disillusionment & subsequently, depression.
    They exhibit all of the delusional tendencies mentioned in this video, which makes complete sense for them to do it, since their sense of self-importance is high, and they’re thoroughly convinced that people would spend their time & energy stalking someone completely inconsequential to them. 😂
    In case someone reading this has people in their life who fit this description, hope it provides some insight. 🙏
    BTW, they’ll never change, since the narcissism is hard-wired. Those of you with narc family members, who have observed & experienced them for decades, some until death, can attest to this.

    Problem with real Psychotic depressive people is that even if what you must say is probably smart and interesting.... Some ''seemingly minor'' triggers as your tone of voice and kind of ridiculous ''Roblox RUclipsr'' energy you're giving will appear as ''so huge and surely dissociated ;) '' triggers that... well unfortunately... lots of 'em will never know because I'm pretty sure that they will skip it to someone more interested in this problem than in their ''youtube fame''..... The presentation of it is just the one of an amateure professional who red about the subject but doesn't really, deeply, understands it! 🤡
    ...It started in a bitchy way, I admit........... but at the end....it will be as bitchy too ;) ....
    Maybe that....the delivery, explanation and sharing of psychological states as critical as this one, for exemple, shouldn't come out as insultingly ''cheapy glazzed'' in order to get likes and views.... and be treated with the professionnal approach a ''Dr.'' like you should have!... Just saying.....

    when my first major depressive episode happened i was having auditory hallucinations. and when i told a counselor at my school, he didn’t really take me seriously. so now i’m only just now re-thinking my diagnosis, b/c i have the MDD diagnosis but not with psychotic features and it’s mostly bc that made me feel like i shouldn’t tell my providers. that counselor i talked to really messed with me

I went to as an inpatient and I was never given anything plus the doctor didn't even seem to care. Within this past year I've been hearing things, smelling, my depression grew worse but I actually found a doctor that has helped finally. All I can say is to keep looking for a good doctor, do research because I know how evil this can be. Love to you.

    My therapist (and previous docs) have kind of given up on figuring out which psychotic disorder I have... he puts it down as this since I've never really left a depressive episode and the mild to moderate psychotic symptoms have been there since I was like, a very young child. But it's not really mood congruent really.

    • @ShrinksInSneakers
      @ShrinksInSneakers  Год назад +3

      If the psychotic symptoms are not in the context of a depressive episode this does not really apply. I would say using an antidepressant in those cases might make things worse. Also when can think of primary psychosis as existing on a spectrum. People can have very mild manageable symptom while others have severe debilitating symptoms. Hope this helps

I am still very depressed and i don't hear or see things but I talked to myself and shout or scream to make my self-calm, I am very inspired by Josh Nash and Dr. Peter Bergin taking an antipsychotic medicine as it only harms rather than doing good. sometimes i feel i should try an antipsychotic like Brexpreprizole my life is hell every day with out any joy please help thanks Michael.

    I have 4 other mental health diagnosis but this diagnosis MDD with psychotic features is 100x worse than the others. It just doesn’t feel like you can even identify with people with just MDD. The severity is so alarming. I’ve been in this episode 14 days depressed and 7 days psychotic 22 days so far I’ve had 2 other psychotic episodes this year. The hallucinations get worse and worse the delusions get way more believable with each episode.

Remember your oath to not kill people with your lack of experience. You can't bring people off snri's and tell them they need them for life because they can't endure the withdrawl. Doctors prescribe snri's with a benzo for that reason.

    Doc- ⚠️URGENT⚠️Please explain how Buspirone along with Hydroxyzine would work for generalized+separation anxiety. This summer, I’m taking a one week trip away from home, then will be back home briefly (about a week) before going on another 3 week trip (the longest I’ve been away from my family). For most, that’s no big concern, but as someone who experiences anxiety when away from home and familiar locations, I’m worried about what will happen. Currently take Hydroxyzine when needed as well as an Olly supplement for stabilizing mood. Need to find a medication soon so it has time to come into effect before these trips. I experience occasional anxiety at home as well, but much more when away. Thank you!

      I usually don't consider an internal dialogue like ones own thoughts of voice a psychotic symptom. We all have this. I would not give a diagnosis of MDD with psychotic features and unspecified bipolar disorder together. It's probably one or the other and people with bipolar disorder can have psychotic features. I'm not sure where they were going with this but I would try to clarify the diagnosis. Hope this helps
