A term that darkly mocks what clinical psychology has become in this data-heavy, lawsuit-driven world which often values documentation of treatment more than the treatment itself.
I feel like I should be called a “clerical psychologist” because the time needed to appropriately document the clinical contact, required by the state, can eat up the entire hour, leaving me with no time to interact with the patient!

A real state of being where a person's perception of reality is severely interrupted. Often triggered by sad or painful things happening to said person, which induces a break from reality, and as more people turn their backs on what is seen as irrational, delusional behavior, the pain deepens. The psychosis gets stronger and harder to bear. Can result in suicide.
Those with psychosis are good, decent people bearing a lot of pain inside, and they could use and appreciate all the support, love, and compassion they can get. Even one stable, healthy relationship in their lives can potentially help them regain and maintain their strength, and they deserve it.

Lily believed that her boyfriend sleeping with another girl was caused because she didn't spin the doorknob correctly on the way out today, and she was thinking of him when she was opening the door. She tried to commit suicide afterward because she thought it would make everything better, especially if the attempt failed... I'm scared for her. I think she suffers from psychosis.

Get the psychosis mug.Date rape psychosis is a fictional disease mentioned in the Towelie episode of South Park.
The term was coined by one of the characters, Eric Cartman. The young boys had just gotten a new game console (an Ocama GameSphere) from Stan's mother as a bribe for dropping the subject of a very feminine, personal issue. While the boys were obsessively playing the game, Kyle's mother called him at Stan's house and told him to go to school. Kyle responded (still mostly playing the video game) that he couldn't because he had to help out Stan, as he was not feeling very well. His mother asked him what was wrong with Stan and that's when Cartman told Kyle "date rape psychosis" (on request), so Kyle repeated this to his mom as "Date rape something," who respectfully honoured her young son's excuse.
