Be it brief psychotic disorder, acute psychotic, and major depressive disorder with psychotic features, we will use every chance to make you stable and live a full life.
What is a Psychotic Disorder?
A mental health disorder is a psychotic disorder, in which a person loses reality. Symptoms may include:
- Hallucinations: hearing, seeing or feeling things that do not exist.
- Delusions: false beliefs or irrational beliefs.
- Incoherent thinking or speech.
- Aboriginal or incongruous conduct.
These symptoms have the potential to interfere with normal functioning, relationships and well-being. Psychotic disorders may exist as a separate disorder or as a comorbid disorder with another mental health disorder, including depression or bipolar disorder. Symptoms may also get more severe and difficult to treat without professional intervention, which is why it is important to treat the disease as early as possible.
