Psychosis is characterized by overt disruptions in thought, perceptions, and behavior. Complex syndromes presenting with psychosis, including schizophrenia spectrum disorders, mood disorders, and medical illnesses, are differentiated by characteristic patterns of symptom presentation and course of illness.

The diagnosis of autism is currently based on the developmental history, direct observation of behavior, and reported symptoms, supplemented by rating scales/interviews/structured observational evaluations-which is influenced by the clinician's knowledge and experience-with no established diagnostic biomarkers. A growing body of research has been conducted over the past decades to improve diagnostic accuracy. Here, we provide an overview of the current diagnostic assessment process as well as of recent and ongoing developments to support diagnosis in terms of genetic evaluation, telemedicine, digital technologies, use of machine learning/artificial intelligence, and research on candidate diagnostic biomarkers.
