I guess it’s ok to say the fo llowing is an amazing article- even though I wrote it! I am so proud and pleased with how this turned out. It’s the first explanation that I know of regarding the differences between the psychosis found in psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and the psychosis found in mood disorders that have mania and depression mood swings. You will learn that the differences are quite large- but often confused. Please let me know what you think. Here is a link to the article on the website www.healthyplace.com

I feel this is especially helpful for family members, partners and friends of those with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder psychosis is SO confusing as it’s always present with either depression or mania.

PS: I wrote this when I was quite depressed- so it’s a testament that we can work to the best of our ability when we are ill. I missed a deadline for the first time in my career- but that is how it goes- what matters is that I finished. The depression went away eventually as it always does.
