News of Psychotic Disorders

I have not visited the forum for a while, so am not sure if this topic has been discussed. I'd like to raise the awareness of all who suffered from the effects of DD to the latest studies regarding autoimmune disease masquerading as a psychiatric disorder.

My ex-husband suffered autoimmune disease which caused him to have diabetes and grave disease at a very young age. Prior to his first delusional episode, he had a very ...

Hi, I'm new here, I was wondering whether there are any natural remedies that can help cool out schizophrenia and calm the mind? Maybe even calm the whispers in my mind.

My mom has delusional disorder. It started in her late 30's. She believes there are spies everywhere. She has absolutely no insight and has been living in this delusion for the past 25 years. She thinks she's right and everyone else is delusional.

I've now reached the age she started getting delusions and I'm starting to get them too. Different type though. Another difference is they only last a few days or weeks and then ...

Hi, I’m new.
My name is Serena, I’m from Italy and in a couple of weeks I’ll turn 24. I’m currently in the process of being diagnosed, but I suffer from social anxiety (diagnosed) and probable PTSD and I’m probably schizothypal or schizophrenic. I’m not sure.

For the past year or so she has been sharing with me her concerns about her being stalked by next-door neighbors (married M/F couple) who have allegedly hacked into her computer, phone, Wi-Fi and Facebook account. Her garage door opener has been ...

My wife was previously diagnosed with depression/anxiety (also a few bi-polar 2 diagnoses) and recently quit drinking a couple of months ago. She also stopped taking Trileptal (without asking the doctor). She hasn't been diagnosed with DD, but she seems to fit the persecutorial profile.

While she has always "felt" that people were talking about her (and I believed that was true, to a lesser degree than she thought), I attributed it to her low ...

I was abused a lot growing up and had many experiences that I would definitely describe as “covert” sexual abuse within the family that really set me up for a sexually dysfunctional mindset as a grown woman. I have always thought of myself as Asexual which I know my repulsion towards sex comes from the various abuses I have experienced. So my asexuality comes from a strong fear of physical intimacy. I have always avoided ...
