> So according to that definition, I have both negative symptoms and depression. That would make most sense. For most of my life I have been depressed and socially anxious/withdrawn but never psychotic until I tried MAOI. So the negative symtoms came ontop of that after I was psychotic.
>What negative symptoms appeared after the psychosis?
For many people, the negative symptoms actually precede psychosis, sometimes by a long time.
> It would be best if doctors found a cause rather than treating symtoms.
Of course.
> Like they do with NMDA receptor encephalitis. An underlying issue. I bet you that most of the time there is something going on beneath the symptoms. Psychiatrists admit that they are not treating root causes most of the time.
>If the disorder/disease is understood, such as with Parkinson's disease, it is a neurological and not psychatric condition. So psychiatrists are kind of doomed to treat patients without knowledge of the underlying causes.
