Psychosis is a loss of contact with reality that usually includes:
False beliefs about what is taking place or who one is (delusions)
Seeing or hearing things that aren't there (hallucinations)
Psychotic symptoms may include:
Disorganized thought and speech
False beliefs that are not based in reality (delusions), especially unfounded fear or suspicion
Hearing, seeing, or feeling things that are not there (hallucinations)
Thoughts that "jump" between unrelated topics (disordered thinking)

eta..... NOT MANIA !
Well that's all very true.
But I'm confused what the point is of defining psychosis in this case.
Elisa supposedly suffered from bipolar disorder. Not psychosis. So why define psychosis ?
Am I missing something?
