The causes of psychotic disorders are not fixed. For example, a child born with a chemical imbalance may have life-long psychotic disorders. For some, it develops due to other underlying conditions such as OCD, ADHD, PTSD, or the death of someone close. Some studies point out the development of psychotic behavior post a physical medical state like pregnancy, cancer, or even inadequate sleep. Unwanted thoughts, fears, and uncomfortable social situations may also result in psychotic behavior. Studies have shown that young men tend to develop psychotic disorders more often than women. Yet, a full-proof reason for an episode of psychotic behavior has never been proved. Like in the case of physical illnesses, an individual must consult with a healthcare professional for symptoms of a possible mental disorder.
