Likewise, loose or quirky thinking that is not now a disorder but indicates an increased risk of developing a psychotic disorder would be classified as a “psychotic risk disorder.” Those diagnosed with this condition would be more likely to be treated with potent drugs, though most never develop a psychotic disorder – setting a precedent for confusing risk factors with actual disorders.
此外，类似思维混乱/古怪这些目前尚未被定义为失调，但有逐渐发展成精神性失调风险的行为将被定义为“精神风险性失调”。在这些条件下的诊断将要求病人服用强效药物，即便大多数人永远不会发展成的精神性失调患者——而且也为特定失调症状的治疗风险因素提供了先例。
