May be you want to know the meaning of "心理错位".
I hold that “心理错位" is not just Psychological disease. It depend on the Severity Index.
If the Severity Index is high ,maybe somebody gets Psychological disease .
but in fact, it's rare . "心理错位" is a common phenomenon . When you are tired or have watched a horror movie , you will be "心理错位" . Just like the illusion.

心里 xīnli in ones heart and mind
错位 cuòwèi to misplace / displacement (e.g. of broken bones) / out of alignment / faulty contact / erroneous judgment / inversion (medical, e.g. breach delivery)
It might be a mental breakdown. No?

It refers to the people whose subjective cognition has a obvious gap with the objective reality.
I think its a Professional term in Psychology...
Maybe "metal dislocation" I guess...
