The essential feature of brief psychotic disorder is a disturbance that involves the sudden onset of at least one of the following positive psychotic symptoms: delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech (e.g. frequent derailment or incoherence), or grossly abnormal psychomotor behavior including catatonia ... An episode of the disturbance lasts at least 1 day but less than 1 month, and the individual eventually has full return to the premorbid level of functioning.
