Psychosis NOS or psychosis not otherwise specified refers to a condition in which a patient presents with symptoms of general psychosis, but no specific diagnosis can be made based on these symptoms.

Psychosis NOS has been reclassified as unspecified schizophrenia spectrum and specified schizophrenia spectrum and other mental disorders in the most recent version of the DSM.
