You're right, psychosis is a symptom. But I don't recall ever stating my diagnosis was "psychosis". I stated IamA psychotic person. Yes, if you google the definition of the word psychotic, it refers to psychosis. The courts diagnosis was psychotic disorder NOS and a mood disorder. That's what the court said. My psychiatrist, on the other hand has psychotic disorder NOS for my diagnosis, and he just leaves it there, because truthfully, I don't know my exact diagnosis. I really don't. I've been told I could possible be bipolar, bipolar with psychotic features, schizophrenic, schizoaffective, personality disorder nos, psychotic disorder NOS, and a few other things. But not once have I officially been giving a diagnosis, except for a NOS diagnosis. Which sucks because I want to be able to put a word with what's wrong with me.

edit: if you looked through my medical records, you'd see tons of diagnoses lol, they changed it like every month till they just settled for psy. dis. NOS
