hi i have schizoaffective disorder, and i have screwed up reality testing, but i find myself at the low end of the psychotic scale. My pdoc says im nowhere near the low end, but i disagree. they say im way in denial, but i think that there is a lot of gray area.
and i do feel that detachment and i do feel unreal a lot of the time. like in depersaonalisaziton ew i cant spell. anyways. i think that there is a continuum and that you have to satisfy certain theings in the dsm4 to be schizophrenic but a lot of people have psychosis and its not schizophrenia like psyhcotic depression and stuf flike that. also with mania can come psychosis. but is ounds more like that he is haveing depersonalizaiton before he has psychosis.
i dont know though i get that unreal feeling all the time and they always say up my antipsychotic but it doesnt always work.
