Psychiatrist,  's  Response
hello there, I have gone through your query in detail. Making a diagnosis in psychiatry is not an easy task. It required detailed evaluation, regular follow ups, family history and assessment. So giving you confirm diagnosis will not be possible. However your symptoms do not fulfill the criteria for confirmatory diagnosis of any of psychotic depression, bipolarity or schizophrenia. But you may be having acute psychotic episode polymorphic type. In this condition person experience psychotic episode with different other symptoms like depression or high self esteem. If you want to confirm your diagnosis, then better consult a psychiatrist and get yourself evaluated in detail. All the best
