Psychosis, delusions, and metaphors

I have not put anymore time than simply searching these three words online together, and it seems that there are numerous* articles analyzing the interconnections between these three, and I found it a shame that the Wikipedia apparently (ctrl + f) does not even mention this at all!

Note:I am not a professional, I cannot edit to add to such articles, but I thought it would be necessary to notify and have this be added on Wikipedia pages on psychosis, delusions, and on metaphors. Given how closely related psychosis and delusions are, I think even articles that do not directly mention one could have some implications regarding it (I have only checked a few that didn't mention psychosis xor delusions, and ctrl+f has shown there is a link); and hence I thought I should proceed to add this entry to talk pages on the other said articles as well.

Proposed summary for technical prose

I've been using Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental large language model to create summaries for the most popular articles with {{Technical}} templates. This article, Psychosis, has such a template in the "Negative symptoms" section. Here is the paragraph summary at grade 5 reading level which Gemini 2.5 Pro suggested for that section:

Sometimes, people with psychosis have "negative symptoms." This means they might lose interest in things or not feel like doing much. A common problem is not being able to feel pleasure or joy, even from things they used to like. This can happen because parts of their brain that control wanting things, feeling rewarded, and putting in effort might not be working in the usual way. Their brain might not react normally when they expect to get something good or when they actually get it.

While I have read and may have made some modifications to that summary, I am not going to add it to the section because I want other editors to review, revise if appropriate, and add it instead. This is an experiment with a few dozen articles initially to see how these suggestions are received, and after a week or two, I will decide how to proceed. Thank you for your consideration.
