Psychotic Depression

Ok, so I know this is SZ .com however I was wondering if anyone else here was/is diagnosed with psychotic depression? I am.

I signed up bc there’s really no other site for people with other psychotic disorders, hope that’s ok!

I’m on Effexor 300 mg and Haldol 5 mg, as well as Ritalin 10 mg twice a day (for ADHD).

One of my initial diagnosis’s was major depression with psychotic features. You’re in the right place. Welcome @Haldol!

Many people with schizophrenia experience at least some depression. It is part of the illness.

I have psychotic depression. A bunch of us either have or in the past had this diagnosis. Welcome!

I’ve never been diagnosed with psychotic depression, but I’ve certainly had it.

I started with psychotic depression when I was 17/18, then after a few years of no symptoms I went off my meds and spent the next year in the hospital diagnosed with sz.

My diagnosis is SZA/bipolar but I have gotten psychotic when depressed before.

Welcome to the forum @Haldol.
