Im sorry but you will probably have to contact a treatment provider in Ontario (where your profile says you are located) or other local location...other locations/countries may have a different definition of what they consider psychotic symptoms...
please be careful in self diagnosing.. I know someone who self diagnosed with mental health symptoms and it turned out they had a medical problem...
let me give you an example....anemia everyone goes through this on and off in their life. its basically when your iron level drops then you get all kinds of symptoms including psychotic ones. what causes it is simple things like for some its a skipped meal or not eating correctly that day.
another very common thing that can cause psychotic symptoms is not getting enough sleep, or going out the night before drinking too much or drugs or prescription meds.........
the list is endless..
theres no possible way to know for sure whether you are having psychotic symptoms due to normal activities, or a health issue or a mental issue because its one of those things where just about anything can cause a person to go through psychotic symptoms.
by self diagnosing psychosis (psychotic symptoms) you may end up harming yourself. my suggestion contact an offline/in person treatment provider. they can help you find out if you are normal, having psychotic problems due to what ever and if so get you treated for it.
