Did something trigger the psychotic break? Did you previously have interest in the Russian mafia that led to you believing it was that specific organization coming after you? Iโ€™m glad you were able to get help and treatment!

The shrink said it was triggered by stress at work. I was also on ADHD medication which can contribute but they didn't think it was the cause or anything.

No, no interest in the Russian mafia but the guy who lived in the apartment below me where I first heard the voices was named Wlad so that's where my mind went I guess.
