Psychotic Disorders

Psychotic disorders in children and adolescents are mental health conditions that affect how a young person thinks, feels, and behaves. Individuals may experience symptoms such as delusions (strongly held false beliefs), hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren't there), and disorganized thinking. These symptoms can disrupt daily life, affecting school performance and relationships. Early diagnosis and treatment, typically involving therapy and sometimes medication, are crucial for managing these disorders and helping the child or adolescent lead a more stable, fulfilling life. Support from family and professionals is essential for recovery.
