| | Psychosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Psychosis should also be distinguished from the state of delirium, in that a psychotic individual may be able to perform actions that require a high level of intellectual effort in clear consciousness. |
 | | Psychotic states occurring after drug use may be particularly linked to drug overdose, chronic use and drug withdrawal. |
 | | For example, people experiencing a psychotic episode in the context of depression may experience persecutory or self-blaming delusions or hallucinations, while people experiencing a psychotic episode in the context of mania may form grandiose delusions or have an experience of deep religious significance. |
