Subtitle Forum: 8 Types of Psychotic Disorders

Psychotic disorders are a group of mental illnesses that cause unusual thinking and behavior. These conditions can cause people to experience hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. It is important to note that not all psychotic disorders are the same. Each type has its own unique symptoms and causes. This article will discuss the 8 types of psychotic disorders:

Schizophrenia: Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may experience delusions, paranoia, and disorganized thinking and speech. They may also hear voices or have difficulty understanding reality.

Schizoaffective Disorder: Schizoaffective disorder is a combination of schizophrenia and a mood disorder, such as depression or bipolar disorder. People who have schizoaffective disorder experience symptoms of both conditions, such as delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thinking, as well as symptoms of a mood disorder, such as changes in mood, energy, and appetite.

Brief Psychotic Disorder: Brief psychotic disorder is a short-term condition that lasts for a period of time, usually 1 month or less. It is characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and/or disorganized speech.

Delusional Disorder: Delusional disorder is a condition in which a person has a false belief that is firmly held despite evidence to the contrary. The beliefs can be persecutory, grandiose, somatic, erotomanic, or jealous type delusions.

Shared Psychotic Disorder: Shared psychotic disorder (also known as folie a deux) is a condition in which a person develops a delusion that is similar to one already held by another person. This condition usually occurs between two people who have a close relationship.

Substance-Induced Psychotic Disorder: Substance-induced psychotic disorder is a condition in which a person experiences psychotic symptoms due to the use of alcohol or drugs. These symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and/or disorganized speech.

Psychotic Disorder Due to Another Medical Condition: Psychotic disorder due to another medical condition is a condition in which a person experiences psychotic symptoms due to a medical condition, such as a stroke, tumor, or head injury.

Catatonia: Catatonia is a condition in which a person does not move or speak, or has very strange movements and behaviors. It can be caused by a mental disorder, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or by a medical condition, such as an infection or a brain injury.
