Infection worsening psychotic symptoms

As some of you may know, I’ve been admitted to the psych er.
They suspect I have a bladder infection, and told me it could very well be worsening my symptoms.

They’re running tests, and if they find the infection they’ll put me on meds right away.
Had anyone else heard of this? Apparently it’s a common phenomenon amongst elderly patients (but I’m 29 lol)

I suppose next time I suspect a bladder infection I shouldn’t wait two weeks to call the doctor.

I’ve heard of it, but usually in the elderly. Do you have pain?

Yes, I have bladder pain and stomach aches

I was on the ward once when I guy got admitted who was hallucinating big time. In the end they figured out he had a bladder infection

I have a resistant bladder infection. I took 6 straight months of antibiotics and I still have an infection. The dr ordered another 6 months of a different antibiotic. I’ve taken that one for 2 months and I’m still in pain. It really sucks!
