Italian term or phrase: psicosi da innesto
La psicosi da innesto è un grave disturbo psichiatrico che si verifica su di una patologia preesistente; ad esempio un deficit mentale grave può indurre la persona, che ha scarsità di relazioni con la realtà esterna, a “costruirsi” uno o più personaggi con cui interagire, producendo percezioni visive ed acustiche (allucinazioni).

Può verificarsi in soggetti internati e lungo degenti in cliniche psichiatriche ed è diversa dalla “imitazione”, che invece si verifica quando un paziente assume come propri i deliri di un altro degente, che spesso è vissuto come soggetto dominante (disturbo psicotico condiviso).

Quando è una vera psicosi da innesto il paziente è dominato da deliri che si possono presentare in maniera bizzarra, intervallati da periodi di discreto o buon rapporto con il mondo reale. A volte è possibile vedere il paziente interloquire con un soggetto fantastico come se fosse sempre stato presente ed al corrente di quanto è accaduto.

Quello che nasce come riparazione ad una vita povera ed intollerabile finisce col diventare una personale

For these disorders, mood episodes can instead be. “superimposed on” the psychotic disorder, rather than being accounted for by it.

Psychotic Disorder Due to Another Medical Condition


Explanation:
In English you won't find the same term as "psicosi da innesto". It is more generic:

Psychotic disorder due to another medical condition is characterized by hallucinations or delusions that are caused by another medical disorder.
Psychosis refers to symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking and speech, and bizarre and inappropriate motor behavior (including catatonia) that indicate loss of contact with reality.

This diagnosis applies when psychosis is due to the physiologic effects of a medical condition. Examples are psychotic behavior or olfactory hallucinations that are sometimes associated with temporal lobe epilepsy and the contralateral neglect syndrome that is sometimes caused by parietal lobe lesions.

Other medical disorders that may cause psychosis include central nervous system tumors and infections, stroke, migraine, and various endocrine disorders.
