| Psychotic Depression
Question:
I would like to know what psychotic depression is.
Also, I would like to know what schizo-affective disorder is.
Thank you very
much for your help.
Reply:
In general, "psychotic depression" is a mental condition
where a person is considered
clinically (severely) depressed with periodic episodes of detachment
from reality (ex., delusions, hallucinations, etc.).
In
general, "schizo-affective disorder" is a mental condition where
a person experiences
detachment from reality as well as elevated (manic), depressed, or
a mixture (elevated and depressed) emotional episodes.
