>According to the DSM-5 chapter on psychosis: (i) Delusional Disorder, (ii) Brief Psychotic Disorder, (iii) Schizophreniform Disorder, (iv) Schizoaffective Disorder, (v) Substance/Medication-Induced Psychotic Disorder, (vi) Psychotic Disorder Due to Another Medical Condition, (vii) Other Specified Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorder, and (viii) Unspecified Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorder.
In addition Schizotypal Personality Disorder is considered to be closely related to psychosis. Catatonia is also described in the psychosis chapter, but is diagnosed separately and noted as a specifier ("with catatonia") on other diagnoses.
