- Disorganized behavior: Exhibiting unusual behaviors, such as speaking in an incoherent manner, dressing strangely, or having difficulty with daily tasks.

Causes of Psychosis:

Treatment for Psychosis:
- Medication: Antipsychotic medications are often prescribed to manage symptoms and help individuals regain contact with reality.
- Psychotherapy: Therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help individuals manage their symptoms, challenge delusions, and improve coping strategies.
- Hospitalization: In severe cases or during acute episodes, hospitalization may be necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of the individual.
- Supportive services: Rehabilitation programs, case management, and support groups can assist individuals in their recovery and provide ongoing support.
It’s important to note that early intervention and treatment play a crucial role in improving outcomes for individuals with psychosis.
