stop fucking using the word psychotic to describe bad behaviour and violence already god fucking damn it

oh my god i’m so tired psychotic does not mean violent it does not mean angry or erratic. it refers to a person suffering from psychosis, a loss of touch with reality that includes hallucinations and/or delusions. psychotic people are not inherently violent and y'all need to understand how much stigma you create when you again and again incorrectly use the word psychotic without even thinking about it

would appreciate if non-psychotic people could reblog this

I mean, yes, lots of us grew up thinking that “psychotic” does mean violent and/or angry and/or dangerously unpredictable because that’s how we always heard it used in pop culture, and our pop culture sources were wrong and so are we if we keep using it that way.

I get it! It’s hard to change how we think about the meanings of words!

Make the effort.

Speaking as a mental health social worker, I just want to say there’s a really good chance you personally know someone who is dealing with these symptoms and just trying to live and cope as best they can.  Imagine how hard it is to learn you have psychosis when you’ve always associated the word with “crazy violent people”.  So yeah, it’d be great if more people could try to make the effort, because the stigma is really bad.

Doesn’t psycho refer to Psychopath? People with an inability or strong lack of empathy, narcissistic tendencies, egotistical, and with a strong tendency to be violent from early childhood?

Psycho is used in relation to Psychopath, not psychotic. Usually, at least.

Teach that there is a difference between the two though

this post is about the word psychotic, not psycho. though i’d love if y'all would stop throwing that word around too, regardless of what you think people mean when they say it
