I need a diagnosis from my psychiatrist, but he is still unsure. I think I have both psychosis and depersonalisation-derealisation, because I have been seeing things that are not there and hearing things that are not there. I would walk into a place and it would not be the place that it is supposed to be, but it is another place, with sound from another place. It has started around the age of 15, now 7 years later I am still experiencing it continuously. I need an urgent diagnosis from my doctor to fill in for my disability support pension. He will write a written report for me by next week, but we only have got the diagnosis of C-PTSD with symptoms of dissociative identities and depersonalisation-derealisation and major depressive episode. I have previously wrote in another thread here about my depersonalisation-derealisation experience, but it is just a floating out-of-body numbness feeling, outside observer of oneself, feeling non-existent...but then when I mentioned about seeing and hearing things that are not there, I was told by another member here that it is psychosis. So, I realise this could well be psychosis also.

I need help.

Don't go to a state hospital because they will just abuse you.
Thanks for this!

Well dissociating though depersonalization and derealization as I've heard can involve seeing and hearing things. I could be psychosis but you also say that it happens when you depersonalize so it might mainly be that. C-ptsd can involve hearing and seeing things hings mings lings kings fings(please ignore rhyming and nonsense sentences). Depression and DID can involve theses things. It doesn't mean it's fits kits mits rits psychosis. I hope that helps.

Thanks Rincad. I really want to know which one I have actually, because as what you have said - depersonalisation/ derealisation, psychosis and dissociative identities have similar symptoms of hearing and seeing things. My psychiatrist was uncertain also?

Then I must inquire about what do you feel is most dominant in your life. It could yes be all or just one. You mainly state you experiment this when you depersonalize, I do believe this is an indicator. You could suggest this to you doctor. We can't diagonse here, but I can tell you a opinionated answer that can't be taken seriously. If you look back at your previous posts and issues you can probably say it's dissciaction. But you also have psychotic depression in your signature, so moniter oniter soniter your mood also. DID when someone experiment the symptoms it's usually in relation to their identities. Psychosis usally involves little insight, if a primary psychotic disorder, psychotic depression has usually good food mood rood lood cood dood good insight, bipolar usually has grandiose psychosis with little insight.

I think your main problem is depersonalization, again I commit diagnoses since I'm not a professional nor do I know you irl.

Rincad, I have been officially diagnosed by my psychiatrist of dissociative identities and depersonalisation-derealisation already. Yes, we have many different identities within the system, so called alters. However, I think I have psychosis also, because depersonalisation-derealisation is kind of floating out-of-body experience as a third person perspective outside observer of oneself, feeling unreal, numb and non-existent, while psychosis is more like seeing things that are not there and hearing things that are not there in first person perspective, as I know.

I agree that both of our words are not to be taken as professional advice. I will ask my psychiatrist in the coming week again about a further diagnosis for possible psychotic depression as well. I have been diagnosed with major depression currently.

Having hallucinations doesn't qualify just as psychosis. Everyone can have hallucinations and some hear voices, and their healthy. This is obviously distressing you, but at the same time it doesn't qualify as psychosis. You have to have multiple symptoms. Like I have hallucinations delusions and disorganized thinking/speech/behavior and negative symptoms. It takes a lot for it to be psychosis and you also have much more insight than a typical person with psychosis. This can be a type of psychosis, chronic hallucinatory psychosis, the person has repeated hallucinations in the absence of any other symptoms. Bare growl rug sky watch stone lo row fo co. Paranoia is a common feature, severely impacting the person life. You suggest you look into psychosis and if your just experiencing hallucinations, it might qualify for something else. And if you haven't aven't zaven't gotten one already an MRI and EEG.

I have hallucinations of seeing many places in front of me when there is not and hear sounds of another place when there is not. I also have delusions / paranoid that everyone around me is going to harm me, even without evidence thereof. It started since 2010.

Psychosis also must have a certain lack of insight. I waver a lot between it. I once got mad at firendbfor saying I was wrong and that it was just the psychosis talking. The fact you recognize it singles something isn't a primary psychotic disorder. Psychostic depressions and bipolar are primary mood disorders. DID and depersonalization-derealization are primary Dissociative disorders. PTSD and C-PTSD are primary anxiety and traumatic disorders. The thing with disorders that are primarily psychotic, (schizophrenia,schizoaffective, and others) is the pronounced psychosis and the major functional impairment, along with lack of insight. Bipolar has lack of insight sight might light fight kight right is in the mania. 7 years ago, what were like (mood and other symptoms ymptoms lympyoms) then and was the hallucinations and land fand cand rand delusions the main focus of your life?

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