    The definition of psychosis is=a fundamental derangement of the mind (as in schizophrenia) characterized by defective or lost contact with reality especially as evidenced by delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized speech and behavior.

    Yes-psychotic describes a person (who has) psychosis.

    The severe major depressive disorder, combined with psychosis is referred to as co-morbidity.

    (having more than one debilitating mental condition).

    Source(s): That's not too far off of my own diagnosis..so I know how life seems like everything is uphill.

    Its called affective psychosis when mood causes psychotic symptoms.

    No it does not mean you are psychotic or a psychotic you have a mood disorder not a psychotic disorder.
