Psychotic break
There's an interesting post on another strand (listed below our strand) "My time in a new thought cult-reflections" by Julie S who recounts the psychotic break she experienced as a result of her participation in a cult.
I recall a young man in the Walk who was taking meds for mental health issues until he heard a message from JRS that debunked the fields of psychology and psychiatry. After the young man stopped taking his meds he became obsessed with a young woman in the church and the situation became very awkward for the young woman. The pastor at the time, Glen Oswald, intervened and the young man went back on his meds. While JRS never told folks to go off their meds, I think the young man was deeply influenced by what JRS said about psychology and psychiatry. Suicide, depression, psychotic breaks can be one of the destructive effects of cults. Anyway, I thought some of Julie's insights were worth reading.
