Treatment


Zoe: Hey, Lia...while we're squirrel hunting, I thought you should know I was just reading up on your mental illness....
Psychosis
Psychosis (from the Greek ψυχή "psyche", for mind or soul, and -οσις "-osis", for abnormal condition), with adjective psychotic, literally means abnormal condition of the mind, and is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a "loss of contact with reality". Those suffering from psychosis are said to be psychotic.

Lia: ...and...?????
