In regards to mental illness there are two categories which most mental illness’ can be separated into; those are psychotic and non-psychotic. Descriptions properly sorted into these categories as well as with their names are as follows. PSYCHOTIC (Psychosis) - This is also an illness as well as a word used to categorise other mental illness’. Psychosis as it is otherwise known as, is when the sufferer has a break from reality, meaning that they can be wandering around completely awake and believe that they are in a different place entirely, this can go on for a significant amount of time and people suffering this can often experience these events at any time. Other symptoms of Psychosis are hearing voices and not necessarily just in their head. People have been known to hear voices as if a person were sitting right next to them speaking to them.
