[DSM-5-TR] Diagnostic Features of Psychotic Disorder Due to Another Medical Condition

The disorder is due to a medical condition in which psychosis appears as a physiological symptom. The patient must believe their hallucinations are real. Consider:

  • Whether the medical condition can be biologically linked to psychosis.
  • When the medical issue came about compared to the psychological issue. This its the strongest indicator for this diagnosis.
  • Whether there are variances in how the psychological condition typically manifests.
  • Whether other explanations for the psychosis, such as the medical treatment or substance abuse.
