"There's no such thing as cyberpsychosis. That's an urban legend started from the prevalence of certain pieces of literature and video game media.
There is, however, cyber-dysmorphia, the discomfort brought about by having a limb or body part replaced by a synthetic.
Strangely enough, some people are more comfortable when their synthetic replacement has less in common with their organic parts. The separating being clearer and more obvious makes it far more comfortable to handle than if the replacement prosthetic is poorly designed to look like the part it's meant to simulate."
