In reply to Bullying and subsequent psychosis, posted by SLS on May 9, 2009, at 6:03:56
Coincidentally, I was just reading about this stuff. I have been working hard in therapy lately on PTSD. I have been experiencing some quasi-paranoia, that is, paranoia that I know is paranoia and so isn't quite true paranoia. In the context of reading about PTSD and paranoia, I came across a whole web site on bullying and PTSD. While you are referencing true psychosis, it is interesting to note that bullying does often result in PTSD, which can create symptoms that look a lot like psychosis, and which, in turn, can actually become psychosis, if left unchecked.
Like you, I was bullied. I think it certainly has contributed to my PTSD, which was diagnosed on the basis of other things.
