Here,

Psychosis, more often called "delusion" disorder belongs to a class of disorders which also contain schizophrenia.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. The use is correct and consistent except in the last sentence where instead of i.e I meant e.g to give an example. (I have corrected it now)

By the way what you are quoting as incorrect are exact phrases from the book and as far as I have read it, they are consistent with the definitions. They paragraphs taken from different sections of the book, may be that is why you are relating them together.

Ah... studying? So what's your take on GGs Amy vs Maya? The more I read the more similar both lol to me... manupulation, they choosing their own punishment. I am yet to read about Amys real thoughts as in the present but they seem to be similar in a lot of ways. Maya possibly is indianized with a bit of goodness to her to keep the Indian audience happy.

It could be the case.

I just failed to understand how psychopathy and psychosis are interrelated in here.

Maybe you just took excerpts from different chapters which made it look inconsistent.

Such a detailed and beautiful analysis.

This was really needed & useful.

From yday words of maya to Vandy if u see.. u can understand her state like she says... "I don't want to become bad but when someone tries to come in btwn Me & arjun na... idk what happens to me I lose my control and don't know what happens to me & what to do..." something on those lines...

And even her dialogues with jhanvi that "I don't want to become bad but circumstances make me do it" something like that even said by arjun for maya...

I agree the person who undergo moral change due to mental illness &is considered not guilty because they aren't cruel people or bad but they don't have control over themselves.

They wantedly dont do it but become something else mentally ruthless due to their illness. Otherwise they are good people.

They don't understand how to handle themselves at that moments and also they end up their distress without knowing what to do.

And generally they are deserved to be excused and by law as well they are excused.

Instead of punishment it's empathy,support and care is needed for them and shown a right direction & guidance should be given in medical way too.

Psychosis is delusional disorder and psychopathy is a personality disorder. Both are mental illnesses. Being a psychopath doesn't necessarily mean the person is evil. Not all psychopaths are killers.

Don't just throwaway terms you have no idea about. It misleads the others too, creating hysteria.
