Atypical Psychosis

Atypical psychosis refers to a form of psychosis that doesn't fit neatly into typical categories like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. It may involve unusual or less common symptoms, such as unique delusions or hallucinations, and can arise from various causes, including stress, trauma, or substance use. The experience can be distressing, leading to difficulties in perceiving reality. Treatment often includes therapy and medications tailored to the individual's specific symptoms. Understanding atypical psychosis is essential for providing appropriate support and care to those affected.
