Psychotic depression? |
can anyone explain psychotic depression to me better? i talked to someone about some weird stuff and they said what i was describing sounded like psychotic depression.

Common delusions in psychotic depression are of persecution, guilt, poverty, nihilism and somatic abnormality. Hallucinations are usually experienced as voices that make accusatory or derogatory comments to the person. Less commonly there may be visual, olfactory (smell) or tactile (touch) hallucinations. Severity of major depression is graded as mild, moderate, severe without psychotic features or severe with psychotic features. well the easy answer is to see professional help but you also need to let your family and close friends know what your going through; otherwise, they might not! hope that helps ck you can read more about at the links below. however, seeing a psychiatrist would be best, in case medication is needed. and also, be careful of all that you read. sometimes, too much knowledge is a dangerous thing. good luck to you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/psychotic_d... http://concernedcounseling.com/communiti...
