But not psychopathy.
Psychopathy isn't a medical diagnosis but it generally refers to antisocial personality disorder, which doesn't include psychosis in its diagnosis criteria.
I think it's a common misconception that Psychopathy refers to antisocial personality disorder. It's a related but distinct concept.

Which is how people think clinically. Schizophrenia spectrum disorders are the most common forms of lasting psychosis. Psychopathy isn't related.
