Hi! I'm trying to get some feedback or help regarding my wife's mental illness.

She was around a lot of physical abuse of her mother as a child. She's had erotomania and ADD since a teenager. I always suspected erotomania, and there were a several clear, but minor episodes, but last year she really came unglued and had a psychotic break that seemed to last somewhere between 4 weeks and 10 weeks. She seemed mostly her normal self around me, but definitely not at work. It led to a really bad outcome for our marriage (see my post history if interested).

She thought the radio was communicating with her and that God had chosen her for something special and she was to have a coworker as a soulmate in the afterlife. She imagined entire conversations with coworkers that did not a actually happen. Delusions (referential, erotomanic, religious, grandiose), disorganized thinking, and unclear, but possibly hallucinations (no motor or movement issues).

I've known her for 19 years, and have detailed info on what life was like for her before that. She has been unable to maintain any friendships ever. She could not even bring herself to talk to people when we met, not even over the phone. Since then, she has seen psychologists who had preliminary speculation that it was a drug induced psychosis (marijuana and too much ritalin), but probably with underlying issues. They speculated schizophrenia, schizoaffectivve, or bipolar. While honing in on the latter two, she was sent to a neuro-specialist who did all kinds of very extensive cognitive testing for two days. His assessment was that he could only \*currently\* detect ADD, PTSD, and anxiety. At this point she was dropped by her psychologist when she admitted that she had again smoked marijuana after being told not to (she has quit since).

On my own research, I've found that she seems to fit the negative symptoms for schizophrenia pretty well, but I guess I'm just an armchair psychiatrist while waiting for her new psych first time appointment, which is a couple of months out and the main reason I'm reaching out to reddit. 

Symptoms include:  


1. Withdrawal / Asociality : Extreme social withdrawal and anxiety
2. Flattening / Anhedonia / Blunted affect: she is often anhedonic, especially later into the evening. She often seems to not be able to show body language and spoke emotion for what she is feeling/thinking. When her mother died from cancer, she had no visual response. She didn't seem to care much).
3. Trouble with speech / Alogia: she can never seem to find words to express emotions or what she's thinking very well. She often has to resort to written text to communicate feelings to me when we have a conflict.
4. No follow-through / Avolition: she has a lot of ADD symptoms, and maybe that's all they are.
5. Cognitivve / thinking issues: Something is really not right with her executive decision making. She has working memory issues, confabulation issues, paying attention, impulse, etc.

Not asking for an official diagnosis, just thoughts from people with experience. Thanks
