Not a dictionary definition, but I think I can wing it... [Psychotic: In a state of constant paranoia, which may or may not be curable depending on its severity. Being psychotic is often accompanied by anger and/or depression, which may manifest itself through erratic behavior, incoherent ranting, and rapid mood swings. A person who is psychotic may be able to commit terrible acts without remorse - though, this is not necessarily due to sadistic motives, rather, their inability to comprehend the consequences of their actions] Except for that last sentence, most people experience many of the symptoms stated above, at some time in their life - the boundary, between simply being overstressed, and being psychotic, lies in the ability to keep ones' emotions in check.

A person experiencing psychosis is one who has lost touch with reality and suffers from delusions and auditory hallucinations (meaning that they hear voices). They may not suffer from both of these and depending on which disorder it is, they may suffer some other symptoms, but the delusions and hallucinations are very common in people with psychosis. One example that comes to mind for schizophrenia (a type of psychosis) is the movie "A Beautiful Mind." Now, using a schizophrenic as an example for psychosis may be skewing the view of the psychotic individual, but you can view the delusions that he had (about working secretly to decode enemy messages) and the hallucinations (although he would have heard voices in real life) and use those as references.

I am not a medical professional so I am not competent to answer that question. I think throwing words like crazy, psychotic, stupid around is tricky..since you are always guessing and you could be dead wrong.
