I feel no one has answered because it's pretty much a medical question

versus a claim question and they might not be comfortable in answering.

It might be best to ask your doctor/s.

I can tell you that being paranoid usually involves delusions and if you are really psychotic hallucinations. When shrinks try and make distinctions between psychotic depression and other psychotic disorders there really is much overlap. If you are having delusions and/or hallucinations you are 100%. You are taking anti-psychotic meds.

Yes I am taking meds for this, bupropion, busiprone, and risperidone. These are also causing erectile dysfunction and no sexual desire whatsoever. I am embarrassed to tell wife so it makes matters worse. I am going to ask my private psychiatrist if he thinks my condition will improve or get better as far as depression and anxiety. Any suggestions on how to ask him?

just ask him! you have to be honest with your PCM, that's the only way your going to receive the assistance that you need.

If you want things to get more difficult between you and your wife, just let her think you are no longer interested. Instead, be honest, let her know it is a medicaion or medical issue, not that she has anything to worry about such as you having an affair, or that you no longer find her desirable.Do the right thing my friend, fess up. Nothing can get in the way of the truth as long as it is... the truth.
