Answer:
"Psychosis" is a non-specific psychiatric term used to refer to a "loss of contact with reality." Since the modern science of psychiatry is not more specific at the level of what constitutes "reality" in the shared sense, the term "psychosis" is value-laden meaning that its usage will vary between and within cultures.
