What is psychosis?Those experiencing psychosis may have difficulty thinking as clearly as they normally would and may experience alterations in their perceptions of reality. This might involve unusual or strange ideas, and they may hear or see things which are not there. It's common to have trouble differentiating, "What's real? What's not real?"
|
Who experiences psychosis?Psychosis can happen to anyone. It's more common than you might think, as ~3 /100 people will experience psychosis. A 'first episode' refers to the first time symptoms of psychosis appear, commonly between the ages of 16-25.
|
Is psychosis treatable?An episode of psychosis is treatable, and it is possible to recover. It is widely accepted that the earlier people get help the better the outcome.
