Are schizophrenia and multiple personality disorders psychotic or neurotic?
They are both definitely psychotic. Psychiatrists have dropped the use of the word ‘neurotic’ in exchange for more precise labels, such as ‘Social phobia.” Yes, it’s generally true that psychotic people are unaware of being psychotic. Even once diagnosed, many psychotics will vehemently deny that it is true (this is to protect themselves from an otherwise overwhelming revelation). The Merck Medical Manual has a brief and concise guide to psychotic disorders and mood disorders.
