Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics including murder, mental health disorders, and legal proceedings related to violent crimes.

Welcome, fellow curious minds, to another spine-tingling episode of Spooky Psychology.

In Part 2 of discussing the insanity plea and the Sydney Powell case, we dive into some diagnoses that were brought up during her trial.

What exactly is Schizophrenia? How is it different from Schizoaffective disorder?

Tune in and we'll unpack each one, and why diagnoses shared in expert testimony can vary so much.

We also debunk what psychosis is and what typical psychotic episodes look like.... and it's probably not what you expect or the way the media portrays it.
