I wondered about negative symptoms when I first got my SZA diagnosis too. Either I don't get them or the clozapine is treating them, because I don't really have issues with affect anymore.

Welcome to the party, @dancesintherain! I've found a lot of support on this thread and I hope you will too.

Resident pdoc says my case is "complicated." Hm.

I can relate to this big time. Do you have anyone you can fact check with?

Nevermind. Feeling paranoid.

Psychosis is psychosis, regardless of where it comes from. Diagnosis is a totally other story. As others have said, psychosis alongside a mood episode is either depression or bipolar with psychosis and psychosis outside of a mood disorder is a schizo-spectrum disorder like schizoaffective or schizophrenia or delusional disorder.

Anger. Lots of it. Reckless driving. I hope you aren't heading towards a mixed episode and that things even out.

Glad to hear things are going well! Walking to the beach sounds lovely.

I'm so sorry to hear this! Sending comforting thoughts your way.

I sense a presence that I call "the entity" when I'm having psychosis.

I'm just finding out about jt now. So sad to hear this. He always made me feel heard and supported on the boards. RIP.

Does anyone here have schizophrenia or schizoaffective and also OCD? My insight into my obsessions and compulsions is terrible (such as thinking I accidentally molested someone and should turn myself into the police). Where does OCD end and psychosis begin, especially with weak insight? If you also have this experience, what works for you treatment wise?

I brought buckets of clonazepam from US to Egypt and back multiple times. No issues.
