iLander, psychosis is a symptom of mental illness which is defined as a break from reality. Psychosis is hallucinations, delusions, hearing voices, etc.
Injuring animals has nothing to do with psychosis. I think you are confusing psychosis with psychopath. If you are not, please cite reliable sources for your information. This will definitely be an education for me, someone who has studied the subject of mental illness for years.
Yes, it is true that psychosis will run in families by way of mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Psychopaths do not run in families and are very unique.
Spouting off erroneous information spreads stigma.
