Psychosis, strictly speaking, is a state of mind.
Schizophrenia is a disease that involves Psychosis.
Chemical schizophrenia is not a psychiatric term.
The difference between psychosis and schizophrenia is schizophrenia lasts longer than 6 months.
Drug induced psychosis does exist, but drugs are usually thought to be a trigger for people predisposed to schizophrenia.
Look man, all I can say about this sorta thing is what the doctors told me.
And all I'm saying is that this guy was probably into some shit that knocked a few screws loose in his brain. I don't think this came about out of nothing, so to speak. What his delusions are centered around speaks a lot about him, and I'd be willing to put some money on some sort of abuse happening that sent him down this road
