Appendix B. Depression and Psychosis Vignettes Imagine that you have recently started to feel tearful very often and have started to spend a lot of time in bed thinking. You find it very difficult to get out of bed in the mornings and frequently call in sick to work. Because of this you are at risk of losing your job. Your partner finds you very difficult to live with and cannot understand why you are not able to go to work if you are not physically unwell. You used to socialise with friends regularly but recently you have been staying at home almost all of the time and your friends are gradually giving up contacting you. You think that you have not achieved anything in your life and find the thought of coping in the future overwhelming. You do not have much of an appetite which has led to significant weight loss. Recently you have thought that life is not worth living. Imagine that you have recently noticed a clicking sound coming from one room in your home. Sometimes you think you can hear people talking about what you are doing. You think that your movements and conversations are being recorded because the government are trying to gather evidence about you and you spend a lot of your time searching for the recording devices. You do not like to go outside because you think that the people recording you may be waiting for you. You have told your family and a couple of friends about your concerns but they say they cannot hear the noise or the voices. You are starting to wonder whether they may be part of the plot too. Your mind is consumed by these thoughts and worries and you feel unable to concentrate on anything else. You have lost your job due to and have so far not applied for benefits. Your friends have started to avoid you and you often feel lonely. Your mood can get very low and you are anxious most of the time.
