This isn't used for much

Being psychotic is when you have a mental health condition that causes ongoing episodes of psychosis. If you hallucinate once or twice then you are not psychotic. Everyone experiences psychosis differently, you don’t have to hallucinate to be psychotic you can also experience delusions. Some psychotic people are constantly experiencing psychosis, some have random episodes, some have specific triggers, some have psychosis when experiencing negative emotions or other mental illness symptoms. Some psychotic people know when they are hallucinating/experiencing delusions, some do not, some have a mixture of believing their symptoms are real or not. Not all psychotic people are schizophrenic, psychosis can occur in lots of different mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizotypical personality disorder, schizoid personality disorder, paranoid personality disorder, PTSD, depression and many more. You likely know a psychotic person, you interact with psychotic people everyday. We are not some vague other, we are your friends, your family, your classmates, your teachers, your coworkers, the cashier at the grocery store, the repairman fixing your car, the receptionist answering your phone calls. You often can’t tell someone’s psychotic by looking at them. All psychotic people deserve to be taken seriously.
