Hey 2BChica,
I think this is an area where you and your doctors are best keeping an open mind while you (important observer) and your doc(s) carefully observe your symptoms and med reactions--and if necessary reevaluate your treatment. Agitated depression can look or feel like a mixed episode imo.
What makes you or your docs think psychotic depression? It could be, and this is important to know and treat properly.
Ptsd can create episodes of disassociation, which could be observed by some (and felt by the affected?) as psychotic.
I would not wish for you to be unnecessarily medicated for a condition you may not truly have--that's why I'm going on...
I'm hoping you get the right dx and best treatment you need now. Hang in there.
