What is psychosis?

Psychosis is a condition that disrupts how the brain processes reality, often leading to hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and changes in mood or behavior. It can occur with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or severe stress.

With early treatment and support, recovery is possible. Compassionate psychiatric care can help you regain stability, clarity, and hope.

1Hallucinations Seeing, hearing, or sensing things that others don’t can be a clear sign of psychosis.

2Delusions Strong, false beliefs—such as feeling targeted or watched—may signal a break from reality.

3Disorganized thinking Thoughts may feel jumbled or hard to express, making conversation and focus difficult.

4Mood or behavior changes Sudden withdrawal, agitation, or shifts in mood can be linked to psychosis symptoms.

5Paranoia Suspicious thoughts or feeling unsafe, even without cause, are common signs of psychosis.

6Decline in daily functioning Difficulty with school, work, or personal care may develop as symptoms progress.

7Lack of awareness Some may not realize their experiences are symptoms, delaying the chance to get help.
