>>40681601 (OP)True delusions aren’t supposed to respond to logic and reason. For it to be schizophrenia there have to be “negative” symptoms as well not directly related to psychosis, like a flat affect or disorganized thinking. But not all psychosis is necessarily schizophrenia.
This is a very complicated topic because you have the people asking whether they’re psychotic according to modern psychiatry, some are some aren’t; you have people accusing others of being psychotic, for both legitimate concern and as a way of shutting down conversations, some are some aren’t; and then you have people who don’t agree with modern psychiatry in the first place and the debates that still exist among the professionals who do.
Having strange beliefs doesn’t necessarily mean you’re psychotic, having psychosis doesn’t necessarily mean you’re schizophrenic, and having psychosis and/or schizophrenia doesn’t necessarily mean you need to go in a lunatic asylum and take risky medication.
