@Brandon L how can someone who never existed die?

@Brandon L Yeah he was clearly not the same and in psychosis. I give people into spirituality a lot of lee-way as I'm in the community and understand it better than norms but 'dem eyes don't lie. 

I wonder what happened to him, or what the verdict would be from a Kundalini perspective or something. 

I lost the track ultimately... does his psychosis comes from psychedellic abuse?

@Leo Gura 

Psychosis is not schizophrenia; schizophrenia is an extreme form of psychosis. A person is psychotic when their ideas about the world, their subjectivity become debilitating. Paranoia for example is a form of psychosis, even if there are not hallucinations.
 

If a person has mental disorders that make them unhappy but not dysfunctional, in mismatch with the "outside world" then in psychoanalysis we would rather speak of neurosis.
 

Connor was unable to integrate well into society and even died because of his subjectivity. You could say he was psychotic.

[Leo Gura]

I don't necessarily say he was psychotic. I say he was bipolar.

If their different thinking is seen as positive, you'll be labelled a creative person, and at the extremes, you'll be labelled a genius. If it's seen as neutral or negative, you'll be labelled as odd and eccentric, and at the extremes and especially when it's negative, you'll be labelled as psychotic.

That's a useful framework.

Do you think schizophrenia and these other types of severe mental disorders, probably stemming from the mind unable to process things, could be triggered due to unhealthy approach to discovering spirituality, and be cancelled out if someone is more grounded and understands what they are doing

My personal advice is that it's possible. 

I would say that those conditions can be treated, not cancelled altogether. Maybe there are just obstacles on those people's road. Overcoming delusions, to realize your true nature. When the mind and thoughts are disorganised, it's possible to detach and see them as not yours.

As for (hypo)mania, as previously said, it can lead to creativity and insights into reality. But it has a cost where the mind will eventually come down after going up.

Sometimes the mind can be overloaded, and that's why therapy and/or medication can help integrate and ease over time. Less known, spirituality and religiosity seem to play a role in the recovery process.

I'm no professional, this is just my personal understanding.
