Panic attack?

This might fall more under the realm of psychology, but...

Is it truly possible to endure a psychotic episode only for it to occur at a moment when you are entirely alone? Or perhaps, could it be that those around us simply fail to perceive it—that they don't even suspect that anything unusual has transpired? Could one be left with the solitary, haunting awareness that such an event took place, while the rest of the world remains blissfully unaware?

I am referring to someone who, until that specific moment, had been functioning perfectly normally.

It’s definitely doable.

It’s entirely possible. Especially when someone is under intense pressure; panic attacks tend to surface when people are suppressing something or dealing with major life shifts...

Is he talking about a panic attack?.. or a psychotic break?... I don't think those are really the same thing... could you clarify what exactly is going on here?

A psychotic break?

Yeah, why couldn't it be possible?
Psychosis is a completely different beast altogether.
There’s an entire thread dedicated to this over on the psychology subforum.

+ just go see a doctor. 🙂
