I can explain what I mean more but having a hard time doing so upfront. Partly because I have various issues with the current diagnostic scheme as it lumps and splits things, as I guess many do though (such as the US NIMH) but it's tricky to explain without going into all that mess.
I say non-psychotic because I'm not referring to what would be considered frank delusions/hallucinations. So this might not apply at all to people who feel they're totally free of anything like that most of the time but have discrete manic episodes in type one or whatever.
What if there's an underlying belief system (perhaps linked to a genetic neurodivergence but not talking about an autistic syndrome) that both motivates hyper attempts to fulfill it, but also inherently undermines those attempts resulting in frustration, social confusions all around, and thus social anxiety and depression for example.
That could just an after-the-fact ideological justification that the brain comes up with, as we are so adept at doing naturally.
But of course religions pursue a lot of this stuff. And they even bundle it up with a load of non-logical stuff that would probably be considered psychotic (or their historical heroes would be) if it wasn't such huge numbers of adherents mostly functional individually (though some might do self-neglecting disepowering martyr type stuff but somehow benefitting the religious group overall?)
Basically how do you resolve an independent non-functional logical idealism? (extremism?). There's a diagnostic overlap with the concept of 'personality disorder' too though where there's a supposedly inflexible (maybe just different to everyone else's inflexible) response set somehow out of synch.
I suspect this may not make much sense without more concrete examples but feels a bit too personal then I dunno.
