Question 4

Accepted Answer

Acute or chronic?: Dear ElaE,
Sorry to hear about your problem. How long have you had these symptoms? Was this only brief episode after surgery/anesthesia? I would strongly encourage you to see a physician for a complete physical exam and work up. If they rule out medical/physical condition then I’d encourage you to see a psychiatrist and psychologist for symptom management - relief is possible! Best of luck!

Accepted Answer

Need more info: These symptoms could be a sign of schizophrenia, but could just as we'll be a result of drug abuse or withdrawal.

Question 6

if you have delusional disorder can you be not functional and also can you have thought disorder?

Accepted Answer

Delusional disorder: I am a little confused by part of the question. So i will attempt to provide clarification on one aspect of it.  There are many people with delusional disorders who in general function well. Others might not be aware that they have a delusion. On the other hand, someone who is really focused on & acting on their delusions might suffer significant impairment.

Question 7

Sudden does not mean: overnight.  Schizophrenia often appears in young adults, e.g., college and military age.  Subtle signs in affect or thinking may appear months before it is diagnosed.  If you have concerns please see a mental health professional.  There are different types and degrees of this illness and many folks function very well w/it.  Peace and good health.
