Is it possible for a person to develop psychosis as a result of being isolated for a long time.
When people are isolated from human contact, their mind can do some truly bizarre things. We all want to be alone from time to time, to escape the demands of our colleagues or the hassle of crowds. But not alone alone. For most people, prolonged social isolation is all bad, particularly mentally.
We cannot generalize but many among us have the tendency. It depends on age too. Their circumstances and life style may also put some weight in the statistical outcome in case it is carried out. These are people who become homesick too early. They may miss their environment, family members, friend or are averse to the changed routine in new place. I know a case of a student who was happy leave for a course only to return terribly homesick. After a few months, wanted to go again because he got bored with local environment. He was unable to convince his parents to open the purse for him. Such people mostly carry some sort of mental disorder.
