If you are suffering from
severe depression, you might get psychotic
symptoms. With a psychotic depression
you also have negative
thoughts. But your thoughts have
become unrealistic and difficult for
others to understand, as they bear
no resemblance to reality.
You
might have thoughts about being to
blame for serious accidents and catastrophes.
You can also be convinced that you
are a bad person, and you can feel
so sinful that you believe you deserve
to die or be punished severely.
Your
appetite and thirst can become so
reduced that it becomes critical,
and in a few cases you might stop
eating and drinking altogether. Such
a condition can quickly become life
threatening and you therefore have
to be admitted to a psychiatric ward
as quickly as possible.
Can
become dangerous
When
you are suffering from a psychotic
depression, you have an unrealistic
perception of reality. You are not
fully capable of taking care of yourself
- and the situation can become dangerous.
With a psychotic depression you always
need to be admitted to hospital, in
order to be protected and treated.
If the situation becomes critical
or dangerous, the doctor always needs
to be called in. The doctor will arrange
the admission. If it is necessary,
you might be committed to hospital
against your will.
Paranoia
With
a psychotic depression you can become
paranoid and feel persecuted. You
can convince yourself that certain
people or secret organisations are
out to hurt or punish you. You might
believe that you are an innocent victim.
But often your depressive thoughts
cause you to believe that you have
deserved to be persecuted and punished.
Hallucinations
With
a psychotic depression you also get hallucinations.
You might be hearing voices that speak
derogatorily about you or tell you
that you must be punished. The voices
can also encourage you to punish yourself
- perhaps commit suicide. With a severe
depression you might also have serious suicidal
thoughts without having hallucinations.
Severe depression is therefore a very
serious disease, which require admission
to a psychiatric ward.
