Overview

Psychosis is a mental disorder in which the sufferer loses touch with reality and becomes isolated from their surroundings. Significant mental, emotional, perceptual, and behavioral abnormalities may occur in people with psychosis because they have trouble telling reality from fantasy. Schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, manic or depressed episodes of bipolar disorder, and severe types of major depressive disorder are all mental health conditions associated with psychosis rather than the mental health disease itself. An individual may not have a chronic psychotic condition simply because they have experienced brief episodes of psychotic symptoms. Transient psychotic episodes can also be triggered by medical issues, substance use, excessive stress, or lack of sleep. Medication (antipsychotics), psychotherapy, and support services work together to alleviate symptoms, restore normal functioning, and raise the quality of life for those with psychosis. Improving long-term outcomes for people with psychosis requires prompt intervention. Seek immediate assistance from a mental health professional if you or a loved one are exhibiting symptoms of psychosis.
