I notice a lot of people use terms like “psychotic” or “psychopath” as insults and negative descriptions on here. These are clinical terms that are used to describe real people with difficulties, not boogeymen! I don’t disagree with the sentiment that these people are doing wrong, but if you wouldn’t use the r-slur or “autistic” as an insult (which you shouldn’t) then you shouldn’t use these words either. And I get the idea of calling someone delusional, but take care that you don’t just mean “I disagree with them.” Though by posting on neurodiverse I imagine I’m preaching to the choir.
Sincerely, a casual schizoaffective disorder haver.
How is experiencing psychosis, as a psychotic does, doing wrong?
No, I mean that the people being described as psychotic is doing wrong. One example was s certain governor who killed her dog and then bragged about it. Some people were calling her psychotic. My point is she was doing wrong, but psychosis is A) not what’s happening and B) not wrong. Sorry for the miscommunication.
