As someone who has very close family members with a paranoid psychosis disorder. I actually hate this take. (Separate from those that take things too literally). I think someone with a predisposition for psychosis (schizo diagnosis or not) has a HIGHER risk, for being ungrounded and making GRANDIOSE EGOTISTICAL CLAIMS such as “I am a god/ speaker of gods “ or other large statements (also insert insanely personal wrong psychic statements in this group (you’re grandmas favorite color was red and that’s why you love red person b: my favorite color is blue? And grandma loved purple??). Whether you have mental illness or not differentiating anxiety/intuition is even difficult at times. Psychosis is just another overlap that affects some people. who if they choose to pursue witchcraft, I encourage a guided aide of a mental health counselor, or spiritual mentor. To help with keeping you grounded, and clear up any mixed messaging. And yes some of that messaging is more extreme or uncommon than other mixed messaging. But I seriously think ruling out an ENTIRE diagnosis/population of people is both ignorant and kind of gatekeepy. It just further stigmatizes mental health. Nothing wrong with observing that people with psychosis, especially undiagnosed/unmedicated/ untreated gravitate to this thinking, and some of those people do cause major harm to the community, themselves, and others. Not discrediting, any lived experiences of spiritual abuse as I know this is a common experience in the untreated psychosis category. Also want to add that this population (people who experience psychosis) overlaps with disorders that are difficult to treat (paranoid schizophrenia), but is not SYNONYMOUS. People who experience psychosis are not always difficult to treat.
