@psychiatrywithkiara: Psychosis and schizophrenia are often used interchangeably—but they’re not the same thing. 🧠 Psychosis is a symptom cluster that may include hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, or difficulty distinguishing reality from perception. Schizophrenia is a psychiatric diagnosis that can include psychosis, but it also involves specific diagnostic criteria, symptom duration, and functional impairment. One of the most important lessons in psychiatry is learning not to stop at the symptom. When a patient presents with psychosis, the question isn’t: “Is this schizophrenia?” The question is: “What is causing these symptoms?” That’s where clinical reasoning begins. ✨ Tiny psych nugget. Big clinical impact. Have you ever heard psychosis and schizophrenia used as if they mean the same thing? #PsychiatryWithKiara #PsychSprinkles #PMHNP #MentalHealthEducation #DSM5

I studied nursing and actually psychosis is just the delusional thoughts. schizophrenia is diagnosed when you have hallucinations seeing or hearing things

ratatouille :

la personne schizophrène est automatiquement psychotique. la psychose ne se guérie pas. c'est un rejet de la réalité à l'âge de 4 ans et les symptômes sont visibles à l'adolescence. beaucoup confondent sens propre du sens figuré. un autre symptômes. à 12 ans .ils ne comprennent pas le principe des fraction s mathématiques. c'est un symptômes psychotique. pour être précis le psychotique fait un déni de ma réalité. Le déni c'est le rejet du signifiant de la métaphore paternel le . c'est pour cela qu'il s confondent sens propre du sens figuré.
