Psychotic Disorders

Comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning for individuals experiencing symptoms of psychosis.
Psychotic disorders affect a person’s thinking, perception, emotions, and connection with reality. Early identification and treatment can significantly improve outcomes and quality of life. At Life Care Counselling Centre, our psychiatric team provides supportive, confidential, and evidence-based care for individuals and families dealing with psychotic symptoms.

What Are Psychotic Disorders?

Psychotic disorders are mental health conditions where a person may experience:

• Difficulty distinguishing between reality and perceptions
• Unusual beliefs or thoughts
• Seeing or hearing things others do not
• Sudden changes in behaviour, mood, or functioning

Psychosis can occur as part of various conditions, most commonly schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, brief psychotic episodes, and severe mood disorders.

Common Symptoms

You may notice one or more of the following:

• Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things others do not)
• Delusions (strong beliefs not based in reality)
• Disorganised speech or thoughts
• Confusion or difficulty concentrating
• Withdrawn or unusual behaviour
• Sudden decline in daily functioning
• Emotional changes such as flat affect or excessive suspicion

If these symptoms appear suddenly, professional help should be sought promptly.
