It is believed to be connected to or synonymous with a variety of culture-specific phenomena such as latah, koro, and amok. Classification
There are three forms of brief psychotic disorder:
BPD with a marked stressor (a.k.a. brief reactive psychosis): if BPD symptoms occur in following personal events (single or multiple) that would be expected to cause significant stress to an average individual. BPD without a marked stressor: if BPD symptoms do not occur in following personal events (single or multiple) that would be expected to cause significant stress to an average individual. BPD with postpartum onset: if onset of BPD symptoms is during pregnancy or within 4 weeks after birth. BPD with a marked stressor (brief reactive psychosis)
Brief reactive psychosis (designated since the DSM IV-TR as "brief psychotic disorder with marked stressor(s), BRP"), is the psychiatric term for psychosis which can be triggered by an extremely stressful event in the life of an individual and eventually yielding to a return to normal functioning.Brief reactive psychosis generally follows a recognisably traumatic life event like divorce or homelessness, but may be triggered by any subjective experience which appears catastrophic to the person affected. Among such stressors are the death of a loved one, professional loss such as unexpectedly losing ones job or otherwise becoming unemployed, or serious adverse changes in the patients personal life, such as the breakdown of their family through divorce, etc.
