A state of mind which is psychotic is not relative to any one disorder....it can be attributed to any number of things, such as grief, trauma, or possible side effects to certain medications, and some other factors such as a hallucination to a drug, paranoid thoughts that may come from a mental disorder, and really a lot of things.
