When it comes to the brain, I think anything is possible. Have you had any brain scans done? Had you have blood tests to measure your prolactin levels? What about a complete metabolic work-up? Have you been tested for Huntington's disease (although you are young too start showing signs of that but maybe you carry the gene - I pray that you don't).
Are doctor's looking at any physiological reasons for your psychotic episode?
((( Pretty Paints))) I do feel for you. You want and deserve answers. Sometimes it is just a relief to know that you DO have something.
I would really push to have the doctors go beyond looking at psychiatric reasons.
Do you feel like anyone is listening to you? I know how frustrating it is to feel like no is listening.
Keep searching and pushsing and searching. I know it's hard to do when you feel like crap.
Babble mail me ANYTIME.
Why did the crisis team have to come?
Hugs,
Maxime
