Spontaneous awakenings misdiagnosed as psychosis
Interesting article from Psychology Today on how certain spontaneous awakenings of an energetic nature are being misdiagnosed as psychosis.
I am glad that modern psychology is starting to recognize spontaneous awakenings for what it is, rather than some sort of psychological breakdown.

Quote:
On the one hand, it means that the awakening process is pathologised. It is "officially" confirmed that the awakening person has "something wrong" with them or is "going mad." Any doubt and incomprehension they may have had from their friends is substantiated by the medical profession.
