what is paranoia psychosis
Psychosis is a serious mental disorder characterized by thinking and emotions that are so impaired, that they indicate that the person experiencing them has lost contact with reality. People who are psychotic have false thoughts (delusions) and/or see or hear things that are not there (hallucinations). These are referred to as âpositiveâ symptoms; ânegativeâ symptoms like loss of motivation and social withdrawal can also occur.
