Psychotic disorders are mental health conditions that can affect how a person perceives reality, thinks, or interprets experiences. Symptoms may include hallucinations, such as hearing or seeing things others do not, unusual or strongly held beliefs, confused thinking, or significant changes in behaviour.
Psychosis can occur in different mental health conditions and may also be associated with certain medical conditions, substance use, or medicines. Experiencing these symptoms does not define a person, and early professional assessment is important.
A qualified psychiatrist can evaluate symptoms, medical history, medications, and other possible factors before recommending appropriate treatment. Depending on individual needs, care may include prescribed medication, psychological support, family education, and regular follow-up. Treatment plans should be personalised and reviewed over time.
