Answers:
This is a "catchall" diagnosis that is used by mental health professionals when they have assessed a patient, have clear evidence that the patient has psychosis, but the patient is so psychotic that they are unable to determine the cause of the psychosis!.

There can be many causes for psychosis including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe depression, drug intoxication or drug withdrawal, and many others!. Doctors need to be able to collect history information about the whys and whens of the patient's psychosis before being able to be more specific with their diagnosis!.
