Maybe they just have more schizoaffectives or mood disorders with psychotic features, and other psychotic disorders like delusional disorder, schizotypal, brief reactive psychosis, other personality disorders, some cases of PTSD, etc. Also possible that there is more psychosis as a result of drug use and organic brain diseases?
