Psychotic means “has a mental illness that causes hallucinations” not “evil person.”
*hallucinations and/or delusions
*also other symptoms end up being involved as well including trouble with communication and train of thought
Yeah, this^ psychosis includes several things, including:
- Hallucinatons
- Delusions
- Severe formal thought disorders (like word salad)
- Catatonia & catatonic excitement
You can be 100% psychotic and not have hallucinations. Its also possible to have some level of hallucinations without being considered psychotic (I have hallucinations outside of pychosis). Its actually encompasses a whole lot of different symptoms, evem though people mostly know about the first two.
