Psychosis

Psychosis is a condition which affects how information is processed in your brain. This is causing you to lose touch with reality. You might see, hear, or believe stuff that isn't true. Psychosis is not an illness but a symptom. That can be caused by mental or physical illness, substance abuse, or extreme stress or trauma. Psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia include psychosis which typically affects you in late teen years or early adulthood for the first time. Especially young people are likely to get it but doctors don't know why. Just before what doctors call the first episode of psychosis (FEP), the way you behave or think will display subtle changes. This is known as the prodromal period and can last days, weeks, months, or years.
