Psychosis and psychotic experiences - symptoms and treatment
Psychosis is a general term that describes the psychologial condition where a person cannot differentiate between reality and their imagination.
The psychotic episodes that a person experiences usually consist of hallucinations (seeing, hearing or feeling things that aren't there) and delusions (holding unusual beliefs or beliefs that others don't share, such as paranoia or feelings of importance).
These symptoms can be very distressing for sufferers and can lead them to become withdrawn, depressed and suicidal so it is vital that sufferers of psychosis get help.
Psychosis can be treated in a number of ways once it has been diagnosed: anti-psychotic drugs, psychological therapies, hospitalisation and self-help.
