it just feels so horrible to be known as a psycho. i dont feel that way at all. its so embarassing too, like..im not going to tell anyone i know.

Answers:
Psychotic Disorder NOS is a vague, wastebasket category for when the psychiatrist is too lazy or doesn't have enough information to make an accurate diagnosis. People who have one parent with schizophrenia only have about a 10% chance of developing the illness. You say you hallucinate at night. Does this only occur around the time when you're falling asleep? If so, these could be hypnagogic hallucinations and are considered normal. People with psychosis have hallucinations at different times, often throughout the day. Also, psychotic people usually have poor insight and are truly convinced of the reality of their delusions and hallucinations. Anxiety Disorders (with the exception of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) do not cause hallucinations. I would definitely get a second opinion.
None of us knows the answer to that. We dont know you.
I wish you the best, take meds and feel better about things. Just dont tell people.
So why are you advertising your psychoness on here?
Follow your doctors orders and take your pills. Maybe you will feel better in a few weeks.
