Basically though, I don’t have psychosis as a result of my changing moods, it’s separate.

When they picked for me it was my ability to pass as normal they based it on.....they were like well you don’t seem weird or something like that.....this is from a clinical psychologist after a battery of tests. My pdoc was never sure if bp 1 or sza mostly because it’s not clear if I really get mood episodes with all my hallucinations.like last time I had a few with depression and I was like I think that’s consistent with bp, she was like no because they typically had it with mania not depression. Oh well.
I just remind myself these dxes don’t actually mean anything anyway they’re just observations of symptoms not related to an underlying cause.
