What is real psychosis?

My doc thinks I’m delusional and in a psychotic state

Is that so terrible? I’m sure he means well.

Yes because she wants to admit me to a psych ward

Delusions, hallucinations, and cognitive distortions are symptoms of psychosis. Pychosis is a state in which someone sees things very differently than other people.

I don’t hallucinate afaik

Delusions of grandeur-god, billionaire/trillionaire kinda rich/famous, erotomania, people following you/talking about you through tv or outside, paranoia, visual, auditory, tactile hallucinations, song lyrics are meant for you, etc

This is more full blown psychosis.

Psychosis begins when a person questions how everything is, then it progresses to delusions and hallucinations and loss of touch of reality.

I don’t think I’ve lost touch on reality

I only have mild paranoia

Are you able to tell the difference between social anxiety and feeling different from mild paranoia?

Yeah i guess (1515)

Why does my doc call it delusional then

I doubt it helps

yea but you always go to a ward where there is not any sort of therapy.

Doctors don’t understand neurodiverse patients, they think that the 10% of the population who have a mind of their own are delusional or mad.

Yeah thought so

It’s the only psych ward for teens here

Except for a forensic ward

Cause honestly, I have glanced through some of your posts, and from what I remember and from personal experience, no one wants to put you in jail just for insulting a psychiatrist or threatening them. I myself saw someone insulting a pdoc in a ward before. Nothing happened. Just seek treatment early and you should be fine.

yea in that case i think it doesn’t really help to go to the psych ward… you just go there to do the same thing you do right now… how should that help… it’s weird they keep sending you there for like a week.
