Hi,

Your post made my laugh!

Ed's tips....

Avoid the word 'psychotic'.... everyone will assume that you are a sociopath or serial killer. The general public in the UK is not aware of the psychiatric definition of psychosis!

Avoid the word 'schizophrenia'...... everyone in the UK thinks that schizophrenia is where people have multiple personalities ie. Jekyl and Hyde etc.

Avoid the word 'paranoid'... this is the word people use to describe the way they feel when they've gone out without their most fashionable clothes.

Avoid the word 'depression'..... this is the word people use to describe the way that they feel when they've missed an episode of Coronation Street.

Basically, there aren't many words that you can use so you might have to plan your little 'speech' in advance.

Ed.
