Today I met a fellow from kijiji who had posted an ad that he wanted to talk about post psychosis recovery, so we met at a coffee shop...

it might be interesting to talk about that weird, shared experience that most people don't experience or can really empathize with.

But his experience was so different, I'm doubting what he had was much in common with what I had, which is kind of a mind opener because I had thought that psychosis is psychosis but it isn't that simple.

He had one episode 5 years ago, was hospitalized for a short time and that was it. Kept his job, kept his family, kept his life together. Then he said he never had a diagnosis and takes 25 mg of seroquel (and that dose it is a sleeping pill not an antipsychotic) and he worked through a trauma in his psychosis with the help of a woman he became fixated on but not sexual. He said the highest dose they ever gave him of seroquel was 100 mg... still not at psychosis levels.

Why is he looking to talk about psychosis when the last event for him was 5 years ago? I started to doubt his stories, and his whole presentation. He seemed fake.
