AB  - Psychosis  is  a  symptom  of  mental  illnesses  characterized  by  a  distorted  or  nonexistent  sense  of  reality.  Common  psychotic  disorders  include  mood  disorders  (major  depression  or  mania)  with  psychotic  features,  substance-induced  psychosis,  dementia  with  psychotic  features,  delirium  with  psychotic  features,  brief  psychotic  disorder,  delusional  disorder,  schizoaffective  disorder,  and  schizophrenia.  Schizophrenia  has  a  worldwide  prevalence  of  1%,  but  patients  with  schizophrenia  exhibit  features  that  extend  beyond  those  seen  in  other  psychotic  illnesses.  The  positive  symptoms  of  psychotic  disorders  include:  hallucinations,  delusions,  disorganized  speech,  and  disorganized  or  agitated  behavior.  Schizophrenia  patients  also  suffer  from  negative  symptoms  (apathy,  avolition,  alogia),  and  cognitive  deficits,  particularly  deficits  in  working  memory,  processing  speed,  and  social  cognition.
