Well, I have witnessed these ideas causing relapse into anxiety attack for someone with pre existing issues. How unlikely is it in the general populatin? Probably pretty unlikely for sure, but I bet it's not an isolated case. See my longer post below.
- tokai 8y agoA text by Plato was instrumental in starting a psychosis for one of my family members. My point is that anything can act as a trigger. Psychos is unreasonable. Even without any stimuly, anxiety can just come on its own and be undirected (as I have witnessed).
- sideshowb 8y agoSorry to hear about your family member. I hope they're doing better now. The fact that Plato played a part in your case shows that while anything can act as a trigger, deep philosophical ideas do seem to be a common theme (2 out of 2 on this thread).

- tokai 8y agoWhile Plato was indeed the trigger, there was nearly no connection between the psychotic ideations and the context of the text. Watching a cloud formation could have done the same.
- sideshowb 8y agoSomeone else I know who struggled with mental health, when I first met him, casually assumed I could move clouds around with my eyes just like he could.
