So I experienced a mental collapse about 5 months ago
I went to the emergency room and they tell me it's psychosis
I took the meds for about a month then stopped went to ER again and now taking it again for a month
My symptoms are I can't understand language. What I mean by this is that words feel foreign to me like it's the 1st time I'm hearing words. It feels like words lost all their meaning and their ability to connect to real life.
After months of research I stumbled on something called semantic dementia. I'm only 19 is it possible I have this or is it just a somatic delusion.

A 19 year old cannot develop dementia.
Schizophrenia used to be called dementia praecox because it resembled dementia symptoms but in young people (praecox means premature). So yes, your symptoms are common for a psychotic.
Stop quitting your pills. The more you try to quit them the worse the symptoms will become over time. You can very easily force yourself into permanent psychosis if you are not careful.

you should visit a doctor.
even if someone says that they are a psychologist, don't trust them. this is your health.
go to a proper doctor that you can trust.

>expecting a pdoc to be able to handle schizophrenia
They're not trained for that you antipsych moron. All a "real doctor" would do is write a referral to the shrink.

it is still better than asking random autists on/adv/ don't you think?

Just did more research and found out psychosis affects semantic memory so maybe that's where my language problem originates
