Are there any psychotic organisms?

Question

What species are they, where do they live?

Answer 1

Do you mean a species that has no grasp of reality? Their brains don't work that way.

Answer 2

Yes! There are billions of them! They are called Human Beings!

Species: Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

They live on Earth.  

I have news for you!  YOU are possibly one of them.

Answer 3

Psychosis features symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions and interference with thoughts. Most of these are higher human functions so other animals cannot have them.

Diseases such as rabies can change the behavior of dogs making them more aggressive, but it would not be easy to argue that psychotic thought processes were taking place inside the dogs mind.

In terms of the 'blatantly violent' definition of the word, Canadian Wolverines and South African Honey Badgers (go for the nads) are both considered particularly nasty in temperament.

Answer 4

Homo sapiens, traditionally terrestrial animals, they are mammals, and are unusually prone to mental illness.

Answer 5

No problem, I work with them

Answer 6

What about those little tazmanian devil things that look like dogs. They are fairly vicious....could be psychotic!!

Answer 7

It depends on how you define psychotic.

a rogue elephant comes close, for non-human organisms.

Answer 8
