Tomatheus,
i am not treating a mixed state, i am treating depression. The mixed state was under the influence of Nardil.
I dont take Nardil anymore.

> So your psychosis is related to being in a mixed affective state? I have a hard time telling whether my untreated state (and treated state, to a lesser extent) consists of a mixed affective state with a psychotic mania overlapping with strong anergic depressive symptoms or whether it's basically a manifestation of schizophrenia. I lean toward the former explanation, as most medications tend to aggravate my depressive symptoms, my psychotic symptoms, or my irritability.
