My comments were directed not at those suffering actual psychosis,
certainly I'd not discourage them seeking appropriate help, but those in
which symptoms of kundalini related effects are mistaken, especially by
others, as mental illness. I'm not sure what kind of governement job you
held that was not affected, but it would affect many kinds of jobs,
carreers. Hospitalization for and/or diagnosis of mental/emotional
illness information is required on application for many jobs, and can be
used to disqualify applicants, is used routinely, in many fields. It can
also affect personal life, as in the case of the man I mentioned, his
marriage breaking up, his hosptialization and 'diagnosis' of a
'breakdown' negatively affected his court case regarding custody of
their child, for example.
