Nm-mri can tell severity of psychosis. But mainly dsm-5 clinical criteria is the one to categorise.

I do not know if modafinil can induce psychosis either acute or chronic psychosis. We have not reached a stage yet to diagnose schizophrenia by a laboratory test. It still has to e made by clinical criteria only supported by history.
