As a modest reminder, the title of this forum is "Schizophrenia and Psychosis" -- these are considered to be forms of mental illness. Therfore, it is appropriate to discuss mental illness in this forum.

Other themes that might occasionally be discussed include "schizophrenic/psychotic" experiences such as voices, thought insertion, fears, paranoia, aliens, shadows, bugs, devils, gods, etc. These are all aspects of "schizophrenic/psychotic" experiences that are not common to other forms of mental illness and therefore, are prone to misinterpretation by individuals who have never experienced such states.
