Topic: Brief Reactive Psychosis

Jason Russell, the creator of the Kony 2012 viral video, was diagnosed with brief reactive psychosis following a public breakdown in San Diego. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) defines this condition as a short-term display of psychotic behavior triggered by extreme stress. Reports from The Advocate suggest Russell's organization, Invisible Children, received funding from the National Christian Foundation, which has been linked to anti-gay legislation in Uganda.
