dvnJ22 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I've had depression my whole life, but when I was 16 I had a psychotic break that lasted about 3 years. I've had a hard time getting a diagnosis - they first said I was a paranoid schizophrenic, but when my psychotic symptoms went away my psychiatrist said I'm Bipolar, however my therapist said I have major depression with psychotic symptoms and I am definitely not Bipolar. I just wanted to know if anyone else with depression has had anything similar, I mean is it normal for somone with depression to hear voices and see things for awhile then for them to go away? P.S. (Not looking for a diagnosis just wanted to know if anyone else with depression has had anything similar with psychosis) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't have an answer to your question and have never experienced this myself, dvn, but I do feel the most important thing is getting support and help with whatever it is you are struggling with. I hope you have been able to do that. I'm not an expert and we don't diagnose here, but I would imagine it's possible to have comorbid conditions.I hope you feel better.Take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
