Episode terms (the ones we mentioned but didn’t expand on)


1. Schizotypal personality disorder: Schizotypal personality disorder is a psychological condition where a person experiences eccentric thoughts, behaviors, and difficulties in social interactions. Individuals with this disorder may have peculiar beliefs, unusual perceptual experiences, and struggle with maintaining close relationships.


2. "Checking the facts" (DBT skill): "Checking the facts" is a useful skill from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that encourages individuals to examine and validate the accuracy of their thoughts and perceptions. By carefully questioning and gathering evidence, this skill helps people challenge their assumptions, minimize distortions, and make more informed and rational decisions. It promotes a balanced and objective perspective, leading to healthier and more effective problem-solving.
