Here are ten common signs of psychosis:
Delusions: Firmly held false beliefs that are
not based in reality, such as believing that one is being persecuted, followed,
or controlled by external forces.
Hallucinations: Sensory perceptions in the
absence of external stimuli, most commonly auditory hallucinations (hearing
voices) but can also include visual, tactile, olfactory, or gustatory
hallucinations.
Disorganized Thinking: Incoherent speech,
difficulty organizing thoughts, or jumping between unrelated topics during
conversation.
Disorganized Behavior: Erratic or unpredictable
behavior, such as dressing inappropriately, acting impulsively, or engaging in
activities that seem odd or nonsensical to others.
Social Withdrawal: Avoiding social
interactions, withdrawing from relationships, or exhibiting a lack of interest
in activities that were once enjoyable.
Reduced Emotional Expression: A decrease in the
display of emotions, such as a flat or blunted affect, or a limited range of
emotional expression.
Lack of Insight: Difficulty recognizing or
accepting that one's thoughts, perceptions, or behaviors are abnormal or
disconnected from reality.
Changes in Sleep Patterns: Insomnia or
excessive sleep, often due to the impact of psychotic symptoms on sleep quality
and duration.
Decline in Occupational or Academic
Functioning: Difficulty performing daily tasks at work, school, or home due to
the impact of psychotic symptoms on cognition, behavior, and emotions.
Increased Risk-Taking Behavior: Engaging in
risky or dangerous activities without considering the consequences, often due
to impaired judgment or altered perceptions of reality.
