Abstract
Psychosis is a multifaceted mental health disorder characterized by a detachment from reality. It manifests as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking, often associated with conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. Although the exact etiology remains unclear, a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors is believed to contribute to its development. Genetic predisposition, brain chemistry imbalances, and substance abuse are among the key factors implicated. Early intervention and appropriate treatment are crucial in managing psychosis effectively. Antipsychotic medications, psychotherapy, family support, and lifestyle adjustments form the cornerstone of treatment. This abstract provides a concise overview of psychosis, aiming to enhance understanding, promote early recognition, and foster improved outcomes for individuals affected by this challenging mental health condition.
