Question if there is more to psychosis than just Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders

[Au Naturel]

assumptions that involve absolute words like "all", "every", "never", etc. are usually wrong

Bingo!!!!

There are a range of different symptoms and different categories of psychosis which, in turn, all fall under a much broader category of “Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders.” Schizophrenia can occur as the result of trauma in people who are vulnerable, particularly early childhood trauma; something so severe it causes the brain to rewire. Other people can experience the same trauma and escape severe psychological symptoms.

Schizophrenia Spectrum: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Related Disorders

Schizophrenia is no longer classified into subtypes. Instead, it’s considered a spectrum with different features and levels of severity.

Depression or anxiety do not result in psychosis. OTOH, psychosis can easily result in depression, anxiety, and many other problems.

There are very few people who are psychotic. The high estimate is one out of a thousand, and the low estimate is a fifth of that. It most often develops in the late teens to mid-20s. You can even become psychotic as the result of a brain parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, the cause of toxoplasmosis

That makes sense.

Depression or anxiety do not result in psychosis

That's not entirely true. There is "severe depressed episode with psychotic symptoms" (translated from the ICD-10). Severely depressed people can develop psychotic symptoms as part of their depressed disorder. However, the content of those psychotic symptoms is normally "depressed" too - like delusions of guilt. If the person's mood and contect of the delusion don't go together anymore - like someone laughingly and in a seemingly great mood telling you how their whole family's going to die because they lost their job - that's less typical for depression with psychotic symptoms and more typical for something else, e.g. on the schizophrenic spectrum.
