Psychosis involves:

  1. Inflated self-esteem

  2. Loss of contact with reality

  3. A depressive episode

  4. Hypomania

The correct answer is: Loss of contact with reality

Psychosis involves a loss of contact with reality, which is not the case for the other options. Inflated self-esteem and hypomania are associated with mania, not psychosis. A depressive episode typically involves feelings of sadness and hopelessness, whereas psychosis is characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and a distorted perception of reality. So although the symptoms of psychosis and depression may overlap, they are two distinct mental health conditions. Choosing option B, loss of contact with reality, best describes the core symptom of psychosis.
