> Why are there so few threads on these? Is it because the sufferers generally don't know they're ill?

Actually, there are more threads on them than I think people realize sometimes. I think people here often judge others by our own conditions -- since I consider myself fairly grounded in reality, no matter how depressed I may be, I tend to take what other people tell me as being equally grounded in reality. Many of us here are capable of distinguishing objective reality, of course, but there are a number of people here who do suffer from psychotic illnesses, and even more who have psychotic features as icing on mood disorders. It's just that the questions posted aren't necessarily posed as "I'm psychotic and..."

I'm very sorry about your friend. I, too, experienced a friend having a psychotic break. It was very frightening, and more than a little heartbreaking.

Peace.
