how are psychotic disorders [such as psychotic depression] diagnosed? do people have to be put inpatient?

i know about the DSM criteria.
i just wanted to know is it a matter of the psychiatrist [or whoever] asking the patient questions about symptoms etc?
is there some kind of inpatient monitoring?
are some kind of tests done?
i forgot to mention i’m in England.
