[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 134851"] Other things that can cause psychosis are illnesses such as lupus and MS. People with no history of mental illness have suffered from dissociative disorders seemingly out of the blue after a traumatizing event. When we think of 'traumatizing event' we tend to think of something huge and earth shattering, but it doesn't have to be. It can just simply be overload. People tend to think of psychosis as something dramatic as you see in movies and can easily excuse away behavior such as you described your sister exhibiting as stress or fatigue, etc. I think most lay people simply aren't going to recognize it unless it was a schizophrenic-type break with reality. Also, those things you described could have other explanations. I suffered huge cognitive deficits before my heart attack and I got lost in my own neighborhood (that I had lived in for 5 years) and another time was on a street and knew I should *know* where I was, but couldn't figure out where I was or where I was going (it was the street the junior high was on and I took easy child to school almost every day - so I did know the street). It wasn't psychosis; it was cognitive and it was caused by my health condition. [/QUOTE]
