(48,181 posts)Well Rug that is indeed an astounding claim. It seems that you have narrowed down the symptoms of psychosis to ones that are extremely easy to test. Just have the psychotic person write a coherent paragraph. If one is forthcoming, not psychotic. The psychiatric community will be in awe. All this time they have been searching for the holy grail of psychosis diagnosis, and now you've found it!
Here is a clue: psychosis is complex, there are many forms, many different symptoms, incoherence is one possible symptom, but certainly not essential to a diagnosis. Many psychotic people can in fact perform all sorts of complex tasks, some even while they are having hallucinations and delusions. They can drive cars, cook meals, say prayers, most likely some have conducted RCC mass, all sorts of normal human activities are possible. Some can even perform unsanctioned exorcisms.
Thanks for finally getting back to me!
