    Childhood Psychotic Symptoms Do Not Predict Adult Schizophrenia

    "Researchers from Duke University, the Dunedin (New Zealand) University School of Medicine, and the King’s College (London) Institute of Psychiatry find that in a study of 1037 children followed prospectively from birth to 38 years of age, “childhood psychotic symptoms were not specific to a diagnosis of schizophrenia in adulthood and thus future studies of early symptoms should be cautious in extrapolating findings only to this clinical disorder.” Results were published online January 12, 2013 by Psychological Medicine."

    Interesting. Psychosis used to be seen as so monolithic and permanent, and that view is breaking down.

    "An initiation into shamanic healing means a devaluation of all values, an overturning of the profane world, a peeling away of inveterate handed-down notions of the world, liberation from everything preconceived. For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."
