Help, I can't go on like this!
To the point where I do not believe I am ill and there is something bigger going on (part of the
psychosis
). I guess I am just after some advice about alternative treatments to antipsychotics and antidepressants and whether there is any advice out there about ECT for this condition.

Just had one of those "enlightening moments"
Anyway, I was told I had steroid induced
psychosis
by the Rhuemy. He said I was taking far too much Pred (60) and I need to reduce it drastically (20). He said I was going to go through a withdrawal until my body got used to the new dose. Boy, that was some withdrawal!!!!!

My Friend's depression - what meds, diagnosis do you suggest? - especially people in the same shoe and doctors!
They used to think He's got bipolar and
psychosis
, but He clearly hasn't got any of these (at least that's what I see). x :) Krisztina

Post Partum Psychosis leading to Bipolar Affective Disorder
I suffered from Post Partum
Psychosis
25 months ago after the birth of my daughter. I spent 7 weeks in a Mother and baby Unit and was put on Olanzapine. On returning home I suffered from depression. However, by the time my daughter was 10 months old I was off my medication.

Anyone else think breastfeeding may trigger pp?
My last midwife said that the part of the brain that has
psychosis
also is the part that produces milk, I think it might be overstimulated but I can't find any research.

Desperate to feel normal again
Hi everyone. I suffered from PP November 2014 with the birth of my daughter. I spent 10 days in a separate facility while my hubby and in-laws looked after the baby. After this the baby and I were moved to the mother and baby unit and we stayed there for about four weeks. I am now back at work full-time

Pregnant Again!!
Hey everyone, I haven't been around in maybe...a year and a half or more. I have had a lot happen to me; my medications have been switched around like crazy, I came off all of them but one, and I dove into alcoholism and benzo addiction. I have been clean for over 70 days now! I feel like ever since

Question for the Dads, what was the scariest part for you?
Trying to understand what my awesome husband went through with my two episodes of PP in 2009 and 2013. In your experience, what were the scariest bits of watching/supporting your partner through PP?

How to Support
We've heard that people typically remember everything once the
psychosis
ends. We've been asked to point out delusions or tell her when thinks are not real.

Anyone who has antidepressant and antipsychotic while on pregnancy
I then developed postpartum
psychosis
although I didn't have any mental disorder before and no family history of mental disorder. I saw a consultant last week. She said I was in high risk of developing postpartum
psychosis
and I'd have 2/3 chance of becoming ill again.

God help me.
In between all this, I tried to kill myself, not because I was depressed, but because it seemed logical in my
psychosis
, train track, electricity, dads car, we're all ways that I did it.

I haven't posted that often on the forum as my PP was 27 years ago, but I often read some of the conversations and find it so encouraging seeing the meaningful support that is being given to women & their families who are going through/have gone through the experience of Postpartum
Psychosis
.

Help- on T3 but want to raise my Levothyroxine?
I've had a lot of problems raising levo in the past and have to do it very slowly because of it triggering
psychosis
. Ideally I would like to raise my levo because I need more stability in the bank. Safety really. But taking T3 too is confusing me. ( not physically!!) How do I do this?
