Introduction
Abstract
When discussing psychosis, it is essential to clarify what the term encompasses. The diagnosis of psychosis refers to mental disorders that do not fall within the category of neurosis and that lead to significant changes in personality, behavior, and thought. This distinction includes conditions such as schizophrenia and manic-depressive psychosis (bipolar disorder).
