Emotional dysfunction is pervasive even in non-affective psychosis. Sometimes (and unhelpfully) referred to as 'comorbidity', these disorders include depression, usually accompanied by hopelessness and suicidal thinking; social anxiety, usually accompanied by social avoidance and problems in forming relationships; and traumatic symptoms (post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD). There is also the distress (fear, anger, shame) attached to the experience of psychotic symptoms.
