“May all be happy, may all be healed, may all be at peace and may no one ever suffer."
Psychosis is a mental disorder characterized by a loss of contact with reality, including delusions, hallucinations, disordered thinking and behavior, and an inability to recognize what is real and what is not. It is a serious mental illness that can significantly impact an individual's ability to function in daily life. Psychosis can be a symptom of various psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe depression, but it can also be caused by other medical conditions, substance abuse, or medication side effects. Treatment may include antipsychotic medications, therapy, and support services.
