I don't think she's trying to contradict my psychiatrist or anything like that. Regardless, I know the experience I had (and still have to some degree) is and was extremely distressing and I need treatment for it. So I'm not sure where that puts me in terms of what meds to take. Of course, I'm not going to change anything on my own, but I might bring up the idea that I may not have SZ with my psychiatrist. I am diagnosed schizoaffective anyway. But still. That requires psychosis as a diagnosis. And if I don't have psychosis, that means the treatment might be different (I am pretty sure). Anyway.
Yeah delusions is the other possibility but supposedly you can also have delusional disorder if the delusions could really happen. So being followed by the fbi is delusional disorder and telepathically speaking with another galaxy is sz. Either way you’re right it’s psychosis and treatable with the same meds.
