"To many, mental illness is frightening. Unfortunately, this fear can discourage people from seeking help early. Neither denial of the problem nor delay will help a young person with psychosis. Much of the fear surrounding mental illness is based on myths and misunderstandings. Mental illness need not be feared. Like other medical conditions, mental illness can be treated."
Fear is what drives the members of a certain website for club-goers to perpetuate myths and misunderstandings about psychosis.
Rather than seeking to understand it, they continue to live by myths and misunderstanding, contrary to the truth.
Just by talking about it without any knowledge about it, only by their rumours about it, they only show their fear, not their compassion.
These armchair psychiatric savants thus perpetuate their own psychotic state of their own little world, but may perpetuate this state through drug use, especially alcohol or, possibly, the illegal substances.
My advice to them, which shall fall on deaf ears, is you need cognitive and dialectic behavior therapy, STAT.
Chasing success doesn't make you immune to what you fear.
Indeed, you fear in others what you fear in yourself.
For the sociopaths who wish another person dead just for suffering the psychosis attendant to post-postpartum depression have proven to be liars repeatedly.
Sadly though, they are in denial, and thus a greater threat to those of us who are confirmed mental health consumers.
