Reply to comment by frozenfountain in Is American Psycho really that brutal? by WankBanke

I have psychotic issues, already havd a fragile mind and have to take meds for it.

Do you think such a book can trigger something in someone who is prone to psychosis?

I wouldn't be comfortable giving you a yes or no answer, since I have no personal experience with psychosis and only a fairly surface level understanding of it. But if you're prone to being deeply upset by disturbing scenes in fiction and having things play on your mind to a debilitating degree, it might be a good idea to skip this one, or at least put it down when things start getting heavy. I really hope the treatment is going well and you're in a good place these days.
