Psychosis

Symptoms can include unusual behaviour, speech or beliefs.

The person may behave differently from how they usually act or they may do things that are irrational. This can be a result of psychotic beliefs or due to confused thinking.

Unusual beliefs involve 2 main categories:

• Delusions – Strongly held beliefs that are unlikely to be true and not shared by others around them
• Hallucinations – Commonly involves seeing or hearing things that are not really there
