      Of or relating to [psychosis] or psychoses, particularly behaviour associated with them. [Psychotic] behaviour occurs when a person is suffering psychoses, which may be the result of a chronic illness (classically schizophrenia) or very [transient] in which case it is usually caused by intoxicants. In any case, [psychotic] by definition means of or relating to psychoses therefore only behaviour that is due to a psychosis is truly psychotic by extension. A psychosis represents loss of contact with reality; it may or may not include delusional, paranoid or disorganised behaviour.

      Informal and [erroneous], though by far the most common lay usage. Refers to extreme behaviour that appears exaggerated, dangerously violent, or motivated by extreme rage. Is usually frightening to observers.

          Medical term that tries to make [a state of mind] into a disease. Describes a person experiencing hallucinations, or so-called [delusions] that may seem [misguided] to someone who doesnt have time or respect for the deeper meanings of those beliefs.
          Contrary to popular belief, very few people diagnosed with psychoses are violent.

            In general common usage, the term connotates crazy. However, actually psychotic people sometimes [hallucinate] badly, can have delusional ideas, sometimes say things that wouldnt make sense to them if they were in their senses, and sometimes just arent there in a [catatonic] sense. Some cant filter out irrelevant stuff from their surroundings, but not all. An old term for a catatonic Schizophrenia symptom has been passed to its genetic opposite for quite awhile now, Autism. Ironically, though psychotic implies crazy, I find [Antisocial personality disorder] to have more to do with crazy then psychotic ever did.
