When I get the word salad thing it's like I black out until it's over. It's weird.
I'm kind of doubtful that I have schizoaffective if it's a form of schizophrenia and not a variation of bipolar because mood is definitely my primary issue at least now and the psychosis just comes in the spurts. I don't think I've had a hallucination all week. Maybe I have and I just don't remember but obviously it couldn't have been anything too exciting if I did have anything. I've been hearing that wellbutrin can cause hallucinations and I'm on 300mg. But what I'm not sure about it whether it only causes psychosis in people with psychotic disorders to begin with or if it can happen to anyone. You're right sza is a confusing diagnosis. If my psychosis gets worse I could see the diagnosis fitting but right now it's just not that bad.
You seem very coherent lol. I'm glad! Do you ever go like a week without a hallucination?
Your description of catatonia sounds kind if like what happens to me when I get extremely depressed except my mind is active with self loathing guilty depressing suicidal thoughts. I can't believe you were like that for 2 whole months!
Yeah I almost think the current diagnostic criteria are not adequate to describe people with as complex symptomatologies as you or maybe even me. Plus it's so hard to find a pdoc that knows what they're doing. At least for me.
Oh yeah, I got a referral to get a brain scan I just have to make an appointment and go find a hospital to do it at. I read the note on my referral and it said they wanted to rule out Wilson's disease which I have like no symptoms of. But whatever.
