Brief Psychotic Episode vs Psychotic Break
Whats the difference between a brief psychotic episode and a psychotic break?
I had a brief psychotic episode in 2013, wound me up in hospital for a month.
I had a psychotic break for the most part of last week. I was somewhat aware of reality or at least that it existed. I continued with my normal life.
Im really worried and kinda terrified that if I were to have another psychotic break I would get lost in it and not be able to find my way back
Both the brief psychotic episode and the psychotic break happened when I was under a lot of stress. Stress seems to be a significant trigger for me for this sorta thing.
I am doing my best to reduce stress but I have to be mindful that I am not putting it onto my Dad
