pp Psychosis- just like it sounds. woman has psychotic symptoms and could do something psycho
I imagine here psychosis refers not to going bonkers enough to rampage but a clinical "loss of contact with reality."
A clinical psychotic episode wouldn't turn a person into a psychopath. That said...it still might have been a part of the motive (i.e. delusions).

In most cases it would be confined to "losing contact with reality", but in some cases it will result in a psychotic episode, such as when a woman drowns her own baby. I'm no doctor, but i've read a lot on this subject.

Does a single pyschotic episode really make someone technically a psychopath?
