a friend of mine (already pretty messed up in the head) says that when she is with other people and feels anxious she begins to talk with other people in her mind (real people, only not there atm). She also had episodes of depersonalization in the past. She is already in therapy with a good therapist i reccomended her, but i'd like to know a bit more about the situation: should i be worried? is she going to become a psycho? what can i do for her?

No it probably has to do with shitty parenting. I've done the same shit. With therapy she will get better.

afaik her father was caught with 50 grams of weed "for personal use" and he made two other daughters with two other women during the last two years so yeah, you're probably right about shitty parenting. I hope you're right about therapy too
Wait, is talking to people who aren't there not normal? I've done it since I was twelve. I just think out the conversations, I don't actually start speaking my part of the conversation out.

one thing is to simply imagine a possible conversation with another person when you're alone, another one is to actively conversate with people in your mind when you're out with friends IRL.
Apart from this, it think the conversation she figures out are a little bit weird. For instance, she said last week she was talking with me in her head in english, and this is strange cause we live in a non-english speaker country and never talked in english to each other.
