Are we vulnerable to sci-fi fiction series, movies and novels?

Living With Bipolar

Hi guys,

Please share your experiences if any shows, series, movies, books, or novels you’ve watched or read have contributed to feelings of delusion or triggered psychosis during bipolar episodes.

In my case, even news and politics have had a very negative impact. Many Bible stories have also contributed to religious delusions during episodes.

What’s especially difficult is that we often find ourselves drawn to these things, even when we know they can be harmful to our brain.

Thanks
