Am I actually mentally unwell?

I beginning to think I don’t have anything wrong with me again and I faked it. I think like this because I feel depressed and my pdoc thinks that is normal because I’ve just come out of a psychotic episode.

I will explain something, I unsure if it means I was actually unwell. I become very focused to the point of obsession on secret folders and pdoc/social workers writing bad things on me. I think I’m very special I will think about this all the time and before you know after many sleepless nights obsessing about it all the dots add up and and I finally find enlightenment. I have neologisms. My invega was increased from 75mg to 100mg and now my thoughts have calmed down and become clear but I can’t help thinking I’ve faked everything. Is this normal?

I wouldn’t say it’s normal but I think a lot of people with mental health issues question, whether they are genuinely ill . I certainly do, though such thoughts fluctuate in intensity. I can veer between accepting and seeing I have mental health problems to thinking I am just socially dysfunctional/a social misfit.
