Where do you draw the line between what is psychotic and what is just normal? If you lose all sense of time, space, history, humanity, normalcy, and go talk to aliens, spirits, or God, it's normal, but if you talk to yourself it's psychotic?
Not being able to identify what year it is, where you are, who you are, and screaming alternating with talking repetitive phrases to people who aren't there while arguing with yourself in a multi-personality type episode is psychotic.
This is what that guy did 10 years ago, like I said we gave him Valium and put him in a room and shut the door. Occasionally we would go in and check on him but the look in his eyes and the fear and occasional screaming - pure MADNESS.
He could not respond to the question, "what is your name?"
The response was like, "Oh yeahhhhh, not gonna trick us this time, noooooo, buudddy, NNNOOOOOOOO!" "Tell them not anymore because oh yeah guyyyy, you don't understaaaaaandddd, do you hear ME?!!! ME??!! YEAH its ME uh huh yeaaahhhh MEEEEE guy" "Yeah that's right, thats him, doesn't understand, tell him to go over there NOW!!!!!"
This was the response to similar questions like, "What year is it?" "What is your mom's name?" "Where do you go to school?"
He returned to "normal" after about 14 hours but was shunned after that night as he freaked everyone out with the noise and shouting, and ruined the evening. Never forget the look in his eyes in the worst of it, pure madness.
That is "psychotic" - if your with someone who behaves like that they are a danger to others and themselves (like deciding to jump off a balcony) and should probably be taken to a hospital. Or at the very least sedated by someone experienced and put somewhere they cannot hurt themselves and checked on frequently - still think hospital is best in case their mind is breaking permanently and maybe a hospital can prevent them from a life in a psychiatric ward.
Just having an amazing trip you usually still know what your name is and can communicate "sanely" with other people around you like answering a basic question or getting a glass of water if you are thirsty.
Hope that helps - as a kind of psychotic test...LOL
