I think of most psychological diagnoses as on a spectrum with more common experiences, and I suppose I feel fascinated by the relationships with the people who I see rather than thinking about an illness in particular. Having said that I’ve worked a lot in wards with teenagers, and worked with some young people who are experiencing psychosis, and I think that’s one areas which is open to misunderstanding, with people seeing it as something dangerous or totally “other”, when again it is actually a spectrum of experience that we all lie on somewhere. All of us can experience paranoia and lots of people have beliefs that others don’t necessarily share. The difference is when it affects someone’s life negatively.
