Abstract
People with psychotic disorders have similar statements to people with spiritual experiences. Psychiatry is quick to treat without considering the spiritual/religious sensitivities of people. Several studies show that religious/cultural/spiritual factors have an influence on the view of mental disorders, including those associated with psychosis and schizophrenia. We do not decide for one camp or the other but suggest that health professionals (psychiatrists in this case) must be equipped hermeneutically (theology/philosophy) and ethically to better grasp the issues of meaning included in these religious/spiritual/psychic experiences. These are existential issues that are dealt with in many ways and from many perspectives. We propose a better linkage between various approaches, including the re-involvement of philosophy and theology.
