News of Psychotic Disorders

Also how does one break from delusion? Is it an induced process from other people (doctors, family etc..), or do these beliefs fade away on their own?
Or does it disappear after a careful questioning of reality from the person who suffers from it?

Does it slowly lose it's hold on the person who suffers from the delusion or does said delusion disappear suddenly (as if the person has an epiphany)?

I’ve been dealing with conditional circumstances that had been staring me in the face and have hid under the comfort of telling myself that I’m delusional so as not to believe my delusions tell myself “hey that’s crazy” but I’m running out of ways to explain to myself “and here’s how that’s crazy” . If I wanted I could show people connections to many things through evidence. But I don’t want to do that, alarm ...

Hi there

I am trying to understand what alogia - poverty of speech means for those that have experienced this and what this experience is like for them.

As far as I have seen when trying to find information about poverty of speech is that there is no specific information about when poverty of speech go from minimum communication to a state of no verbal/written expression at all. I have tried to find scientific articles ...

Hello everyone. I would like an opinion on whether this sounds like an oncoming psychotic episode. Back in 2015, something happened to me. And while I was never able to fully understand what that was, a couple doctors did say that part of this experience included psychotic symptoms. They seemed reluctant though to outright say it was a psychotic episode, and I was never diagnosed with any psychotic disorder.

In 2015, after months of feeling ...

Anyone else had experiences with being gas-lit by a group or community into thinking you're delusional? People (strangers and people I know around uni) are whispering about how much of an asshole I am under their breath and then denying they said anything when I ask them about it. I am keeping in mind that I am quite a negative person and have screwed a few people over here and there.

I'm struggling pretty hard ...

Hey My fellow phychosis-people.

First of all, I had social anxiety for 7 years so i isolated my self a lot and didnt hang out with a lot of people.

So 3 years ago i had a FULL psychosis(I'll explain what that means later). I had been isolating myself in my home for 2 months and one day i thought, Hey! Why not entertain myself!?
So i started to dance and move around in the ...

Hi I am trying to see if my roommate may have schizophrenia, she does a lot of weird stuff and says weird things that don't make sense. I thought the courts were going to get her diagnosed but nothing has happened, she refuses to go to her dr. Her sister told me she does good on medication but doesn't know what the meds were for, they only recently in the last year reunited after 10 ...

I recently got out of a relationship with my partner who I think might suffer from Delusional Disorder (jealous type). Before we started dating he had on several occasions made false accusations towards me. We met each other through a mutual friend whilst we were at university, he picked interest me in me and we talked for a while and lost contact. When he resurfaced back into my life shortly before I finished my course ...

Misdiagnosed with schizophrenia for a year. Later on received the correct diagnosis of treatable brain inflammation - autoimmune encephalitis (Hashimoto's Encephalitis) in April 2017. I am very happy that my story got posted in AE Alliance blog. I hope it will help some readers to receive a proper diagnosis. I cannot say that I recovered 100%, but there is improvement after IV steroids, and at least now I know the specific diagnosis. I’m sure that ...
