Psychosis and types of hallucinations

I've been suffering from Schizophrenia related Psychosis for a long time, although I dont have hallucinations all the time. The hallucinations have a very different nature compared to hallucinations caused by alcohol for example. Maybe we can add that. Noam111g (talk) 03:34, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Antiphospholipid syndrome as one of the causes?

I came acros a 2018 review of psychosis associated with antiphospholipid syndrome, published in General Hospital Psychiatry. I wonder if it would merit a mention in the article. Cheers, --CopperKettle (talk) 05:43, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

What to do if your loved one/s have this condition.

As someone who has this first hand themselves I can say that the best thing you can do is be by their side. Taking medication and having treatment can be scary for individuals. Remember,Wikipedia is not a medical exam. Do not try and self diagnose yourself with a search browser. 35.147.112.121 (talk) 13:54, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Any less stigmatized clinical synonyms for psychosis?

"Psychosis" has the distinction of being one of the most socially stigmatized clinical names for an illness, and it doesn't even descriptively convey its basic definition of having an impaired perception of reality. Just looking up "psychosis" at thesaurus.com, its strong synonyms listed are "insanity", "lunacy" and "madness", "derangement", "insaneness", "psychopathy" and "unsoundness". All of those words are less specific while no less stigmatizing, except for psychopathy which is an unrelated condition altogether with an even more stigmatizing casual association with evil. Considering psychosis is an illness that can happen to innocent people under benign circumstances and doesn't always result in violence, this article could be helped by the inclusion of attested neutrally descriptive synonyms for the illness for readers genuinely curious about the subject. But I don't know of any such terms that wouldn't be protologisms or original research, like "reality perception failure", and I haven't thought of a Google search that reliably addresses the issue so I can learn more. For example, searches like "synonym for psychosis" are plagued by results not using "psychosis" or "psychotic" in a clinical sense, either. - Gilgamesh (talk) 23:48, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
