    Psychosis isn’t being a dickhead. It’s suffering from delusions and/or hallucinations. It can be really stressful to go through because the delusions are often paranoid ones, like that the government planted a chip inside your body and you need to dig it out with a knife. It’s serious business.

        That’s greek for “socially ill”. It’s not really a widely recognised psychological construct, psychologists don’t really believe in it. But if I were to actually define it for the sake of argument, I’d say it describes disorders that impair social interaction and one’s ability to fit in in society. Like autism, or STPD, or clinical lycanthropy.

        Again, not the same as being a dickhead. Psychologists aren’t interested in judging your morality, that’s priests.
