As my first psychiatrist had suggested? Yesterday it was ecstasy and agony at the same time
Today the same. I have many reasons to be ecstatic, and same amount of reasons to be depressed and devastated
Or is it pure madness? Not knowing how I feel, feeling the opposite feeling immediately?
Hey Om, I have read “a period with either depression or mania”. So one or another.
No, there is also mixed episode with both
Allright, then you deserve a second diagnose…
I have 4 diagnoses. 1st schizoaffective. 2nd undifferentiated. 3ṛd undifferentiated. 4th paranoid or undifferentiated
Yes mixed episode is both, depression and mania.
Its schizoaffective but tell your psychiatrist how you feel.
We talked on the phone. But I need to see him Face to face
Hey Om I have bipolar and I get mixed episodes and when I get them they are predominantly marked by a feeling of agitation. Not agony and ecstasy.
OK, leaf, that sounds reasonable. I have heard it before.
Yes, I don’t think it’s schizoaffective but how can a schizophrenic have opposite feelings in their brain simultaneously? I never have mania, depression is almost constant, rarely hypomania
It sounds like sza to me. I have sza not sz because my depressions are longer than two weeks (the criteria for a depressive episode). And I get hypomania.
When I get mixed episode I get irritable too but sometimes it’s a feeling of laughter and tears. Labile mood I think it’s called.
I remember one day I had a euphoric mood then later in the same day it crashed. I am a rapid cycling sza.
