Psychosis is a serious mental health condition that disrupts a person’s ability to think clearly, perceive reality, and function in daily life. It is not a diagnosis on its own but a symptom of underlying mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression. Early intervention is key to recovery.
Causes of Psychosis
Psychosis can result from several factors, including genetics, brain chemistry imbalances, trauma, substance abuse, or medical conditions. Stressful life events may also trigger symptoms in individuals already at risk.
Symptoms to Recognize
Common signs of psychosis include:
- Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things others do not)
- Delusions (false, fixed beliefs)
- Disorganized thinking or speech
- Social withdrawal and lack of motivation
- Difficulty distinguishing reality from imagination
