I have been having a spell of creativity and unusual thinking for the last couple of months, and check with both T (weekly) and pdoc (monthly) to see if I am psychotic or not. They both believe that I am not - emphatically not. T IS able to talk about such things (and, by the way, she is only an intern with limited experience but still).

She and the pdoc both have their ways of looking at whether one is psychotic. So for dx, T is still a good source.
