From the Paper:
"The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV-TR) has developed categorization methods for many disorder groups, including the categories involved with schizophrenia and lifetime development disorders. While there are varying levels of severity with both of these groups of disorders, they are both very difficult to identify at times because of the state of the individuals involved."The two categories to be discussed are the schizophrenic and psychosis category as well as the lifetime developmental disorders category.
In psychology, psychosis is tied to many different disorders in which an individual becomes extremely out of touch with reality. While this can occur in more common disorders such as severe depression, it is most commonly tied to schizophrenia (Barlow & Durand, 2009).
Schizophrenia is believed to be mostly tied to genetics and the chemical imbalances tied to improper formation of key areas of the brain."
