"miscellaneous psychoses" which cannot yet find better diagnostic homes elsewhere can be recognized. The NOS category (Not Otherwise Specified), is often used to describe patient's psychotic states early on in the diagnostic process, when it is not clear how best to classify symptoms. As patients' conditions become better understood (with the passage of time, diagnostic testing, and history gathering) the NOS classification is often removed and a more precise diagnosis is made.
I'm not a doctor and the above information comes from the website Mentalhealth.net. With this type of diagnoses your doctor is either unable to diagnose a specific disorder or your symptoms may be pointing to one or my diagnoses. With further evaluation and examination the doctor will be able to make a better diagnoses. For now though the doctor is suggesting that you are in actuality suffering from some form of mental illness or injury.
