So for now, I have "psychotic disorder NOS". I don't even know what that means. Allegedly it's just short term until they rule out physical causes and determine that I've had "long term" psychosis.

This is so confusing...
Psychosis NOS is pretty much well she's got psychosis but who knows what it is so the docs don't know any more than you do or they don't want to give you a sz diagnosis for some reason.
