This is what I know .. I deal with psychosis daily with or without an "episode present" .. why you ask ? Because I refuse to take an AP daily. I will use one PRN if I start to question whether my hallucinations visual and auditory are real.

My Pdoc and T and I have discussed and discussed whether its this or that. The decision was made jointly that I am just fine and dandy with a Bipolar I diagnosis., I mean, does it really matter ? and the answer for me is ... No it really doesnt.

I don't give a damn about who does what studies and whatever there criteria shows , They are just too busy arguing who is more right than the other.

Anyway , just my opinion as always.
