It's just the same for me, well said. I think it's a combination of developing resilience and coping mechanisms, becoming better able to detect and avoid circumstances and environments that would push me over. What I've read about the bio-chemical stuff suggests that the 20s are basically peak-age as well.
Yes. More specifically, this is what McLuhan means when he says that electricity extends our nervous system, while mechanical devices only extended our body parts.
I experienced a few psychotic episodes myself and I’m wondering if it goes away with age?
I’m hitting 30 next year and it seems that the frequency and intensity of the episode is lessened.
It became more of “an echo of my inner world” which I have taken the time to clean up a little if that makes sense.

Would you say that our tech breaks down that barrier of inner and outer to a point that puts us all in some (lower) level of psychosis?

And it's observable if you interview people + how they use the Internet
Is there a particular book where he talks about that? Would like to check it out
