> From what I understand, its been known for a while that "mentally ill" people often had really rough lives before the mental health system got to them. This, I think, might just be the first study to show that intense trauma has a direct effect in later developing behaviors that would be diagnosed as "psychotic."

I think it sucks that a lot of times people get victimized and then they end up in a mental health system that pumps them full of toxic drugs, labels them, and strips them of their dignity...all while saying the problem is a "brain disease," thereby letting society and people in the patient/victim's immediate social network (family, friends, colleagues, etc.) off the hook.

Just curious, have you ever had a direct interaction with a person who is suffering from a psychotic break, active schizophrenia, dillusions, someone with bi-polar 1 in an untreated manic state, anyone like that?
