My sister was recently diagnosed with MDD with Psychotic Features and this video is really helpful, it helped me understand more with thus type of disease

After 9 years of fighting mdd I finally built the confidence to seek medical health im supposed to go on therapy etc etc and i really hope i get the help i need😮‍💨😭

I knew i was treated for MDD but at one point my psychiatrist told me that i need more drugs cause i developed psychotic features. I didn't understand at first but then i realised how scared i was to be outside,feeling that people looking and laughing at me It is so strange how i ended up here Worst part is that most of the drugs she gave me ,makes me feel numbed and jombie like😢 I just want to feel normal again. Just normal.....

As a mdd pt with psyctoic episodes. I feel this is accurate and I feel like this helped me digest some features I was unaware of. I stay on my meds and have a few safety net strategies. But that is how I cope.

I just found this, I’m so elated, I’m truly struggling finding out what’s wrong with me so looking forward to seeing them all.

when my first major depressive episode happened i was having auditory hallucinations. and when i told a counselor at my school, he didn’t really take me seriously. so now i’m only just now re-thinking my diagnosis, b/c i have the MDD diagnosis but not with psychotic features and it’s mostly bc that made me feel like i shouldn’t tell my providers. that counselor i talked to really messed with me

i’ve been diagnosed with this for 2 years now and had no idea what it was until now

I have been taking anti depressive medication for twenty five years with a mental health diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder emotionally unstable type. However, it is not uncommon for me to relate to symptoms from a broad spectrum of other diagnosis

Just curious, I understand that psychosis and depression can occur together, but if psychosis tends to be based on hyperdopaminergic states in the striatum how can you have anhedonia at the same time? Wouldn't the antipsychotic tend to further contribute to the anhedonia? I know what I'm saying is gross oversimplification but I would like your the thoughts on the matter. I know antidepressants with antipsychotics are effective I just would like to understand better how it fits together. Thank you.

I have been on Abilify and Zoloft, as well as trazadone and klonopin for over a year. My auditory hallucinations have almost completely disappeared. I’m afraid to even bring up changing any med because it seems to be working. I’m still alive. Is there a point I need to reduce meds? I’m sure the voice will return if I stop Abilify. I don’t want to mess with what’s working.

I'm so tired of life . I can't take it anymore

Your the best at explaining. Thank you

A great video, and good advice.

I have family members who are high on the narcissistic spectrum, who are clearly also depressed. They’re all delusional by nature, anyway, and with their unrealized goals (which are rooted in their false selves, and thus, don’t reflect their ACTUAL abilities, personalities, etc.), that leads them to disillusionment & subsequently, depression. They exhibit all of the delusional tendencies mentioned in this video, which makes complete sense for them to do it, since their sense of self-importance is high, and they’re thoroughly convinced that people would spend their time & energy stalking someone completely inconsequential to them. 😂 In case someone reading this has people in their life who fit this description, hope it provides some insight. 🙏 BTW, they’ll never change, since the narcissism is hard-wired. Those of you with narc family members, who have observed & experienced them for decades, some until death, can attest to this.

My therapist (and previous docs) have kind of given up on figuring out which psychotic disorder I have... he puts it down as this since I've never really left a depressive episode and the mild to moderate psychotic symptoms have been there since I was like, a very young child. But it's not really mood congruent really.

I am diagnosed with gad ptsd and suicidal ideation and depression my psychosis lasted for months i don't believe my delusions were mood congruent but they are considering this

I think i need dopamine instead of serotonin because i live in a GD coma! Wtf you think?

Hello, my son was hospitalized for observation. Dr diagnosed him with mdd with psychotic symptoms .. he gave him zyrpexia.. I’m freaking out about this as I don’t want him on meds but feel like I have no other choice at this point…

I have recently diagnosed with MDD after my Fistula Surgery after seeing my first physiatrist he advised me to go for Psychometry, soon after the result I was told I have psychosis with x%0.5 Schizophonia with Schizotypal personality basically a personality disorder I have been on Peroxin HCL since 14 weeks with my second Physiatrist as per her advice i was diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder with Major Depression but the medicine is not affecting at all. I am still very depressed and i don't hear or see things but I talked to myself and shout or scream to make my self-calm, I am very inspired by Josh Nash and Dr. Peter Bergin taking an antipsychotic medicine as it only harms rather than doing good. sometimes i feel i should try an antipsychotic like Brexpreprizole my life is hell every day with out any joy please help thanks Michael.

I need help and idk where to get it from .My Family thinks that's it all in my head and they don't want to hear it ... I'm struggling real Bad

I have 4 other mental health diagnosis but this diagnosis MDD with psychotic features is 100x worse than the others. It just doesn’t feel like you can even identify with people with just MDD. The severity is so alarming. I’ve been in this episode 14 days depressed and 7 days psychotic 22 days so far I’ve had 2 other psychotic episodes this year. The hallucinations get worse and worse the delusions get way more believable with each episode.

applause! thank you so much!

Doc- ⚠️URGENT⚠️Please explain how Buspirone along with Hydroxyzine would work for generalized+separation anxiety. This summer, I’m taking a one week trip away from home, then will be back home briefly (about a week) before going on another 3 week trip (the longest I’ve been away from my family). For most, that’s no big concern, but as someone who experiences anxiety when away from home and familiar locations, I’m worried about what will happen. Currently take Hydroxyzine when needed as well as an Olly supplement for stabilizing mood. Need to find a medication soon so it has time to come into effect before these trips. I experience occasional anxiety at home as well, but much more when away. Thank you!

My delusion is that nothing has, or ever will matter.. in a weird way, it keeps me alive because, like, whats the point. Might as well ride it out..

I’m suffering a nervous breakdown at 69, and haven’t slept in a week. The cause is my adult son’s abuse of me and my having to get a PPO against him. He’s terrorized my dog and stolen my clonopin. Not only have I been traumatized, but can’t get to the hospital because of my dog and the fact that he wrecked the engine in my car and I’m afraid to drive.

I have mdd & my psychiatrist only has me on aririprazole & you stated it should be 2 medications?

would you lean towards a more activating SGA, like aripiprazole, vs a more sedating one, like olanzapine, given that we're dealing with depression here?

me clicking on this to know if I am one

How about OCD with psychotic features?

So, you're a doctor, huh? Might as well be. I agree.

I have this 💀

I am depressive mayor lost of energy and interest what would you recommend me for this 😢

How long does psychosis last, mine lasts a few hours at a time, which doesn`t add up somehow.

i recently got diagnosed with mdd with severe psychotic features & bipolar unspecified. and i didn’t fully understand why they did the severe psychotic features when i just told them i can hear my self conscious i guess in the back ground when i’m in my panic mode. i thought everyone could hear their self conscious. i couldn’t find anything or anyone that can relate to that. & now that i watched this video i don’t understand why it’s severe

im diagnosed with this

Nobody even talks about SPIRITUAL WARFARE......that is what THIS IS

I would love you to do something on moclobemide (I know it’s apparently not used in USA but I am on it in Australia)

An older medication was triavil

I subscribed cuz I think I have this

Im fucking lost please leave my head before i leave, I am certified/told that i am not mentally well if i make you uncomfy or distressed please dont bother me. But please direct me to a supervisor or a visual councel/CNA

Problem with real Psychotic depressive people is that even if what you must say is probably smart and interesting.... Some ''seemingly minor'' triggers as your tone of voice and kind of ridiculous ''Roblox KZfaqr'' energy you're giving will appear as ''so huge and surely dissociated ;) '' triggers that... well unfortunately... lots of 'em will never know because I'm pretty sure that they will skip it to someone more interested in this problem than in their ''youtube fame''..... The presentation of it is just the one of an amateure professional who red about the subject but doesn't really, deeply, understands it! 🤡 ...It started in a bitchy way, I admit........... but at the end....it will be as bitchy too ;) .... Maybe that....the delivery, explanation and sharing of psychological states as critical as this one, for exemple, shouldn't come out as insultingly ''cheapy glazzed'' in order to get likes and views.... and be treated with the professionnal approach a ''Dr.'' like you should have!... Just saying.....
