Overview. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone produced by the body's adrenal glands. The body uses DHEA to make androgens and estrogens, the male and female sex hormones. DHEA levels peak at about age 25, then go down steadily as you get older. By the time people are 70 to 80 years old, their DHEA levels are only 10 to 20% those in young adults.
The Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales (Haddock et al., 1999) are semi-structured interviews designed to assess the subjective characteristics of hallucinations and delusions (see Appendix).
However, neurosis is not as severe as psychosis. Psychosis, or a psychotic disorder, is believed to be more of a symptom than a diagnosis. As a psychiatric term, psychosis refers to any mental state that impairs thought, perception, and judgment.Psychotic episodes might affect a person with or without a mental disease.hough neurotic and psychotic are both relative to mental health, there are differences between neurotic and psychotic conditions. The terms neurosis and psychosis are sometimes used interchangeably with neurotic and psychotic disorders.
