Psychosis is characterized by significant changes in a person’s perceptions, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours.

• hallucinations – where a person hears, sees and, in some cases, feels, smells or tastes things that aren’t there; a common hallucination is hearing voices
• delusions – where a person believes things that, when examined rationally, are obviously untrue – for example, thinking your next door neighbour is planning to kill you
• Disorganized thinking (speaking in ways that are confusing), or bizarre behaviour

• Schizophrenia – a condition that causes a range of psychological symptoms, including hallucinations and delusions
• Bipolar disorder – a mental health condition that affects mood; a person with bipolar disorder can have episodes of depression (lows) and mania (highs)
• severe depression – some people with depression also have symptoms of psychosis when they’re very depressed

Psychosis can also be triggered by traumatic experiences, stress, or physical conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, a brain tumour, or as a result of drug misuse or alcohol misuse.
