My therapist and I were talking about my diagnosis today. I just saw my psychiatrist last week, too, and she didn't mention my diagnosis. It previously had been schizoaffective bipolar type since November last year. (This was given to me by my old psychiatrist/nurse practitioner.) Now, my chart says "Unspecified psychosis, rule out bipolar". Huh. That's even MORE of a head-scratcher! Its been there a while, apparently, but it seems like a transient diagnosis. When exactly will she rule it out? And if she does, will I have to change the name of my blog? Ha! Its just sitting there for now, making it seem like I have a psychosis NOS diagnosis.

its means its been rules out already for bipolar. which means they already dont think you have it.

No it actually means they have to rule it out...very often it is in fact what they think you actually might have but they aren't sure yet...some docs hate committing to a dx but given the dsm categories aren't based on anything definitive and sza and bipolar have the same treatments I wouldn't worry about it...

I was diagnosed at BP back in 2006 or so. Only SZ in 2013. So I guess they're just confused!

So maybe they are just leaning toward more of my psychotic symptoms lately. I have had mania before which is why I think SA fits.
