Psychose

Psychosis is a mental health condition where a person loses touch with reality. They might experience hallucinations—seeing or hearing things that aren’t there—or delusions, which are strongly held false beliefs. These experiences can interfere with daily life, relationships, and decision-making. Psychosis can result from various causes, including mental illnesses like schizophrenia, substance use, or medical conditions. Treatment typically involves medication, therapy, and support to manage symptoms and help individuals recover or improve their functioning. Early intervention is important for better outcomes.
