A close friend of the family had hallucinatory voices. He thought he could read minds. He decided to play Texas Holdem poker in the casino to take advantage of his mind reading inner voices. After a painful period of not having any money, he figured out that the voices weren't real nor could they read what the other players were holding in their hands. He is totally normal now.

Yes, external correction mechanisms are very helpful. Installing little snitch, monitoring wireshark and checksums helped me a lot :)

Absolutely helps. Separation from a screen for 20~ hours can cause an episode for me. Left my PC at home to read a book and ended up having a panic attack and hallucinating a skull out of a blanket. Panicked and left my grandmothers house at the time. Only about a month and a half ago.

Mostly under control otherwise.
