Thanks empowered. I am sorry you are diagnosed with psychosis. That must be scary. I was told that I have paranoid ideation. Yes antidepressants can make a mixed state worse.
I was put on lithium and olanzapine. I don't know why they didn't put me on an anti-convulsant since that has better efficacy than lithium.
Maybe I shouldn't try and understand the symptoms and just get better. There is little research done on mixed states despite the fact that it is more chronic, has poorer prognosis and has high suicidal risk.
