I'm looking for answers to the question, "Can you be psychotic and not schizophrenic?" I've heard that it's possible, and I'm interested in learning more about it. Does anyone have any insight or experience with this? Are there any doctors or mental health professionals that can help explain how this works? I'd really appreciate any help that anyone can provide.

Cevap: Evet, şizofreni olmasanız bile psikotik olabilirsiniz. Psikoz, kimyasal dengesizlik, travma veya diğer faktörlerin bir kombinasyonu sonucu ortaya çıkan kalıcı ya da geçici durumlardan biridir. Psikoz, şizofreninin yanı sıra diğer psikiyatrik bozuklukların da bazı belirtilerini paylaşabilir. Örneğin, bipolar bozukluk, depresyon veya diğer psikiyatrik bozuklukların bazı belirtileri, psikozun belirtileriyle karıştırılabilir. Ancak, şizofreni, kişinin düşüncelerini, davranışlarını ve kişiliklerini olumsuz yönde etkileyen ciddi bir psikiyatrik bozukluktur. Şizofreni, çoğunlukla kronik ve tekrarlayan bir bozukluk olduğu için, geçici psikotik durumlarla karıştırılmamalıdır.

Yes, it is possible to be psychotic and not schizophrenic. Psychosis is a general term for a group of mental health problems that cause someone to experience a distorted view of reality. Psychosis can be caused by different conditions, including depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and substance abuse. People who experience psychosis may have hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, difficulty concentrating, and disturbed behavior. Schizophrenia is a type of psychotic disorder that is characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, and disorganized behavior. While it is possible to be psychotic and not have schizophrenia, it is important to get a professional mental health evaluation to diagnose and treat any underlying condition.
