Overview
Psychosis involves a temporary or ongoing loss of contact with shared reality — including schizophrenia and related conditions — and is a medical condition that responds well to timely treatment.
Common Signs & Symptoms
- Hallucinations — hearing, seeing, or sensing things others don't
- Delusions — fixed false beliefs not shared by others
- Disorganized thinking or speech
- Social withdrawal or reduced motivation
- Difficulty distinguishing between what is real and what is not
- Marked change in personal functioning or self-care
