psychosis

Psychosis is a mental health condition characterized by a disconnection from reality. Individuals experiencing psychosis may have hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren’t there) and delusions (strongly held false beliefs). This can lead to confusion, emotional distress, and difficulty functioning in daily life. Psychosis can occur in various mental disorders, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, but it can also be triggered by substance use, trauma, or medical issues. Treatment typically involves medication, therapy, and support to help individuals regain a clearer sense of reality and improve their well-being.
