Alzheimer's is a form of dementia seen in the elderly. This is a progressive, terminal disorder that results in a range of symptoms most notably memory loss. However, as the illness progresses other cognitive (mental) functions also become affected.
In some cases, patients with Alzheimers develop psychotic symptoms (such as paranoia or hallucinations). However, not all patients do.
Therefore, Alzheimers is a form of dementia, not psychosis. However, in some cases patients may present with some psychotic symptoms.
