Psychosis is a condition that describes a situation where someone has lost touch with reality in one of several ways. This could include having delusions or hallucinations. People having an episode of psychosis may have false beliefs, or they might see, hear or feel things that are not there. Early intervention may prevent someone from hurting themselves or others and could stop a psychosis-related condition from worsening. If you or someone you know has developed symptoms of psychosis, you must seek help as soon as possible.
Therapies for psychosis include different types of psychotherapy, antipsychotic medication, mood stabilizers, substance abuse counseling, family therapy, and support from a group or therapist. If you are, or someone you care about is, experiencing symptoms of psychosis, call for assistance in identifying the correct treatment therapy.
