The presence of psychosis is inferred in the same way as all other mental disorders: from what people say during an interview and how they act when observed. Some symptoms—such as delusions, hallucinations, and grossly impaired speech or movement—are considered direct evidence of psychosis, almost as if bizarre attributes have been added to a person's psychological repertoire.

Other symptoms provide indirect evidence of psychosis: impairment in self-care, restricted range of emotion, poverty of speech content, and inability to initiate goal-directed behavior. In a sense, these indirect symptoms make it seem as if something has been lost or removed from a person's psychological state. The direct (or positive) symptoms and indirect (or negative) symptoms can be described as disturbances of language and thought, disturbances of sensation and perception, disturbances of motor behavior, emotional disturbances, and social withdrawal.
