I guess so!. I went from psychotic depression to schizo-affective depression to dysthamia!. They no longer recognize my voices or "shadow people"!.!.!.I dont' understand that but on my dx paper it says nothing about the psycotic part of my issues!. I has have BPD, avoidant personality disorder, and panic disorder with agoraphobia!.
