What Is Psychosis?
Psychosis refers to a state where a person’s thoughts and perceptions are severely impaired, leading to a loss of contact with external reality. This condition is a symptom of various mental health disorders rather than a diagnosis itself. It significantly affects how an individual interprets and interacts with the world around them.

-
Unusual or confused behavior that is out of character.
-
Social withdrawal and a decline in daily functioning.
Main Causes of Psychosis
The exact causes of psychosis are complex and often involve a combination of factors. These can include genetic predispositions, imbalances in brain chemistry, and significant life stressors or trauma. Substance abuse, certain medical conditions, and other mental health disorders can also trigger psychotic episodes.
