I had an episode that was psychotic and fit the criteria for mania except it didn't last long enough to be true mania. That could be due to the fact my husband got me help quickly and the heavy dose of Haldol or something similar they gave me at the hospital was so strong I couldn't pick my head up for hours.

Some doctors I have seen labeled me as bipolar and as having experienced mania with psychosis. My current doctors say it was brief reactive psychosis induced by PTSD. I've never had depression though, so my case is even more unclear.

I don't think any doctor can know for sure without giving it time to see if you cycle again. How long has it been since all of this occurred? What meds are you on now?

Why were you on such a high dose of Prozac? It can induce mania. The question becomes whether or not one is bipolar and the med brought out the mania or if one has unipolar depression and the high dose of the med is to blame.

My psychosis was completely incoherent, but my mother had it for days and there were periods when she would snap out of it for a few moments. Something would then trigger her and she would go back to the abnormal behavior.

Personally I think the diagnosis process is a hot mess and the lines between many diagnosis are blurred. The way a practitioner labels me matter to me a lot less than whether or not they can help me to effectively manage my symptoms. Are you symptomatic now?
