Well, if we are to apply full logic and nothing else, then the simple answer is yes.
Everything, from the weather to the path that a feather follows as it falls from a passing duck follows a pattern.
The only limiting factor for us humans is all of the variables that are possible in these cases, all of the known variables that are just way too complicated to figure out, and all of the other variables that come into an open system.
I think that with this one, with some type of psychoses, it is possible to predict quite a few things, at least some signs to look for, to alert us that there is something amiss.
But with all of the other variables and potential false positives, current technology doesn't allow us to predict it to a very high degree.
Hope this helps.
Love as always,
Sebastian

Yes it does, especially schizophrenia, which follows a very specific, predictable pattern.
Psychopaths have a pattern, too, but they know enough to hide it and appear normal.
Neurotic behavior, though considerably less severe, follows a formula or pattern virtually by definition.

I think crazy comes down to not doing what you know you should be doing... and then struggling with it... people who do things that are considered crazy are often just following their own beliefs and they don't fit in with what other people believe... you can label it... you can stereotype it... and most of us will fit into that catagory... but only on a superficial level...

With that though, there are those that are the exception to the rule.
