Does anyone think they have experienced delusions with their depression or have any experience with psychotic depression? It seems like a fine line and difficult to tell. I was ruminating on past things I felt a lot of guilt about and decided I was nearly evil and a monster which increased my SI for awhile. I was somewhat aware it was extreme, but it also felt very real. Not sure if this is just extreme guilt/distorted perception or a delusion. I have never had this with depression before, but I really felt like I deserved bad things to happen to me because I was intrinsically bad and needed to pay for my sins so to speak. Evidence to the contrary just wasn't enough to shake this. Also felt like I have been a little less trusting of others, but not totally paranoid. This has been quite scary as I feel like I am sort of losing touch with reality.

Hello yellow_fleurs: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral!
 I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit.  I'm sorry I don't think I really know the answer to your question although I have had some experiences similar to yours. At what point extreme guilt switches from being distorted perception into a delusion is something I could not say.  However here are links to 2 articles, from PsychCentral's archives, on the subject of psychotic depression. Perhaps some of the information in these articles will be of some help:https://psychcentral.com/encyclopedi...ic-depression/ https://psychcentral.com/lib/psychotic-depression/ My best wishes to you...

I was diagnosed with psychotic depression before being diagnosed with schizophrenia. It's scary. You're afraid of everything and everybody is after you.

Thank you for the welcome and the links. Will check them out! It's so hard to figure out what is going on in your own brain. The support helps me feel less alone, though!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
