About Psychosis

Psychosis meaning in Urdu is "ذہنی انتشار ". It is a serious mental health condition in which a person loses touch with reality. People with psychosis may see, hear, or believe things that are not real, and they often cannot recognise that something is wrong.

In Pakistan psychosis is diagnosed late due to stigma and limited awareness. Around 3% of people experience some form of psychosis during their lifetime. It is not a disease by itself. It’s a group of symptoms that can appear in several mental and physical health conditions. It most commonly starts in late teens or early adulthood. Early treatment leads to much better outcomes. 

Psychosis Symptoms

Psychosis can appear gradually, with subtle early changes before clear symptoms develop. Common symptoms include:

• Hallucinations
• Delusions 
• Paranoia 
• Disorganised thinking and speech
• Jumping from one topic to another without making sense
• Difficulty focusing 
• Confused behaviour
• Sudden mood changes
• Reduced emotional expression
• Loss of interest in friends, work, or studies
• Poor self-care 
• Poor  hygiene
• Disturbed sleep (staying awake at night)
• Withdrawal from family and social activities
• Lack of insight

Seek a doctor's help immediately if you or a loved one notices:

• Hearing voices or seeing things others cannot
• Sudden strong false beliefs (for example, feeling specially chosen or constantly watched)
• Talking or behaving in ways that do not make sense
• Sudden severe change in personality or daily functioning
• Threats of harming oneself or others
• Refusing food, water, or basic self-care
• Severe sleep loss with confusion
• Symptoms appearing after drug use or a head injury

Psychosis Causes

Psychosis can be caused by several mental health conditions and physical factors. Common causes include:

• Schizophrenia
• Schizoaffective disorder
• Severe depression with psychotic features
• Bipolar disorder during severe mood episodes
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Postpartum psychosis after childbirth
• Use of cannabis, methamphetamine, or other drugs
• Heavy alcohol use or alcohol withdrawal
• Severe sleep deprivation
• Brain injury
• Brain tumours
• Stroke
• Epilepsy
• Infections that affect the brain (such as meningitis or encephalitis)
• Certain medicines, including some steroids and Parkinson's drugs
• Dementia in older adults
• Severe stress or trauma

Psychosis Risk Factors

You may be more likely to develop psychosis if you:

• Have a family history of schizophrenia
• Have a family history of bipolar disorder
• Have had childhood trauma 
• Have severe stress
• Use cannabis, methamphetamine, or other drugs
• Drink alcohol heavily
• Have suffered a brain injury
• Have a chronic neurological condition like epilepsy
• Have severe mood disorders
• Have had a recent serious infection affecting the brain
• Are recently postpartum
• Have very poor sleep over long periods
• Are socially isolated or live in extremely stressful conditions

Psychosis Prevention

Psychosis cannot always be prevented, but the risk and severity can be reduced by:

• Avoiding cannabis, methamphetamine, and other recreational drugs
• Limiting alcohol
• Seeking help early for depression, anxiety, or trauma
• Managing chronic mental health conditions with regular follow-up
• Maintaining regular sleep and a stable daily routine
• Reducing extreme stress through counselling and support
• Staying socially connected with family and friends
• Looking out for early warning signs in young family members
• Getting help right away if early symptoms appear, rather than waiting

Psychosis Types

Psychosis is grouped into different types based on its cause and pattern:

Primary Psychosis

This type of psychosis is caused by a primary mental health condition such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder. It usually requires long-term treatment.

Secondary Psychosis

It is caused by another medical condition, such as a brain injury, infection, tumour, or certain medicines. Treating the underlying cause improves the symptoms.

Substance-Induced Psychosis

This is caused by the use or withdrawal of drugs and alcohol. It improves once the substance is fully out of the body. However, in some people it can trigger long-term mental illness.

Postpartum Psychosis

This is a rare but serious form of psychosis that can occur within days or weeks after childbirth. It is a medical emergency and needs urgent psychiatric care.

Brief Psychotic Disorder

Short-lived or brief psychotic episodes last less than a month. They are triggered by extreme stress or trauma. Most people recover fully with treatment.

First-Episode Psychosis (FEP)

This is the first time a person experiences psychotic symptoms. Early diagnosis and intervention at this stage greatly improve long-term outcomes.

Psychosis Diagnosis

There is no single test for psychosis. Doctors diagnose it through a detailed assessment and rule out other conditions:

• Detailed psychiatric history and symptom evaluation
• Interview with the patient and family members
• Mental status examination
• Physical examination
• Blood tests to rule out infections, thyroid problems, or vitamin deficiencies
• Drug screening for substance-induced psychosis
• MRI or CT scan of the brain in selected cases
• EEG if seizures are suspected
• Psychological assessment using standardised tools
• Observation in a hospital setting in severe cases

Psychosis Treatment

Psychosis is treatable, especially when help is sought early. Treatment combines medicine, therapy, and strong family and social support.

Home Remedies

(Home remedies cannot replace professional treatment. Psychosis is a serious condition that needs urgent psychiatric care.)

• Keep a calm, quiet, and supportive environment at home
• Follow a regular sleep and meal schedule
• Avoid arguments or pressure during episodes
• Stay close to the patient and avoid leaving them alone in severe phases
• Remove any objects that could cause self-harm
• Avoid alcohol, drugs, and excess caffeine
• Follow the doctor's instructions strictly
• Attend all psychiatric appointments and counselling sessions

Medications

(Strict medical supervision is essential. Specific medicines are not listed here because they must always be chosen and adjusted by a psychiatrist.)

• Antipsychotic medicines prescribed by a psychiatrist
• Mood stabilisers for bipolar-related psychosis
• Antidepressants in cases of psychotic depression
• Anti-anxiety medicines for short-term use
• Sleep-supporting medicines if needed
• Treatment of underlying physical conditions causing psychosis

Medical Treatments

• Psychiatric consultation and long-term follow-up
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp)
• Family-focused therapy and counselling
• Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) for first-episode psychosis
• Hospital admission in severe or unsafe situations
• Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in selected severe cases
• Rehabilitation and supported education or employment
• Treatment of substance abuse where relevant

Psychosis Complications

If psychosis is not treated, it can lead to serious problems:

• Self-harm or suicide attempts
• Harm to others in severe cases
• Worsening mental health and long-term disability
• Loss of education, work, and relationships
• Drug or alcohol abuse
• Homelessness or social isolation
• Worsening of underlying conditions like schizophrenia
• Severe weight changes and poor physical health
• Higher risk of accidents and injuries
• Family stress and breakdown of relationships
