What is Psychosis?

Psychosis, also known as psychotic episodes or psychotic experiences, is a symptom usually associated with severe mental disorders and physical conditions. Psychosis can be a collection of symptoms that cause the individual to lose touch with reality. People with psychosis may experience delusions or hallucinations.

Most people suffering from psychosis may feel demotivated and withdraw from interacting with society and their relationships. To bring patients back to reality, early intervention in the form of proper medical care is required.

The Symptoms of Psychosis

Hallucination

Hearing voices, seeing things that exist only in their minds and feeling very much real to the person affected.

Delusion

Having strong feelings that are not shared by anyone else.

Disordered Speaking

As the thoughts come running to their minds too quickly, their speech becomes fast and confusing.

Withdrawal

Separating themselves from others and prefer to spend most of their time with themselves.

Negativity

Declining emotions, movements, motivation or words.

Disorganized Behavior

Inappropriate emotional responses and unpredictable actions that do not suit the situation.

Therapeutic Approaches for Psychosis

Cognitive Behavioural Therapyy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a treatment used to help a patient suffering from psychosis. For psychosis, CBT involves understanding how people consider their experiences and understand how it causes distress to them. Through CBT, the therapists will help the patients to understand their emotions. It also aims to help achieve meaningful and important goals, which include reducing distress, going back to work, or regaining a sense of control.

Family Intervention

Another therapy that is found effective for psychosis is family intervention. Family members must understand the condition and lend support to the person affected. Family intervention helps both the patient and his family members to deal with psychosis. Caring for a psychotic person can place a huge amount of stress and strain on the family members. Family therapies can tackle this, as they help family members discover new ways to support a person with psychosis.
