Sometimes I doubt it.

Technically I am psychotic, but I am studying, I began to cook and clean again, I take a shower everyday and everything looks OK.

Moreover, I am getting a pet in July.

Docs say I still am psychotic... but WHAT??? How? Where? Why?

I don't see psychosis anywhere! I doubt it's playing hide and seek. I have just made a banana milkshake and it's delicious. (I can do things, i am OK)

if you are here in the USA yes psychosis exists. its a word that covers many ....symptoms.

you know how in school students say I have math class. then when you get into the class room you find out you are doing many different kinds of math (adding subtracting, multiplying, dividing...)

psychosis is like that. its a word where many things happen...

sometimes cant tell whats real and what isnt.
having hallucinations
having delusional thoughts and beliefs
disorganized thoughts or speech
sometimes being catatonic

a person with psychosis can have two or more problems and they do not have to be long term

what causes it is many... with me I sometimes have it due to having bipolar disorder and sometimes if Im on the wrong medication dosages that will cause it to in me.

my suggestion talk with your doctors, let them know you want to know why they are saying you still have psychosis.
Thanks for this!

I doubt it too sometimes. The more enlightenment professionals doubt it as well I think. We pathologise it whereas other cultures say " Congratulations , you're woken up ". Have you looked at " Simalcra and simulation " by Jean Baudrillard ?

I've asked my doctor that so many times. I have no idea. If you go off definition and symptoms, then I'm "psychotic" 24/7
