Many mood disorders have psychotic episodes not just schizophrenia. In my opinion a major difference is the thought processing, with schizophrenia it gets really warped, but it can do with bi-polar and others too perhaps.

This is the sad part. The first time I told my psychiatrist, he told me that he had them exterminated. I honestly felt like he did not believe me. The second time I told him, he sounded alarmed, but went back to joking about it. He says that he just doesnt want me worrying about it. Too late, I guess. He also said that if it happens again, some tests might be necessary.

It's kinda depressing. I don't care if it's something physical like a brain tumor or seizure or whatever. It wouldn't make a difference to me. I just don't want to feel like I am losing it and then have someone almost tease me about it. I do know that if it is a physical condition, I will most likely turn down treatment.
