Understanding Schizophrenia & Psychosis

What Is Schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia is a long-term mental health condition that affects how a person experiences the world and can affect how they think, feel, and behave. It can make it hard to tell what’s real.

Common symptoms can include:

  • Seeing or hearing things others don’t
  • Strongly held beliefs that aren’t based in reality

  • Confused or disorganized thinking or speech

  • Withdrawing from friends, family, or activities

  • Showing less emotion than usual

  • Losing motivation

  • Trouble with focus or memory

  • Difficulty keeping up with daily routines or self-care

What Is Psychosis?

Psychosis is a set of symptoms that make it hard to tell what’s real. It can be part of schizophrenia, but it can also happen with other conditions, such as severe depression, bipolar disorder, or substance use.

Psychosis can develop gradually, and early signs are often difficult to recognize. Getting help early can make a real difference.

Hallucinations

Seeing, hearing, or feeling things that aren’t there, such as hearing voices.

Delusions

Strong beliefs that aren’t based in reality and usually don’t change, even when there’s proof they aren’t true.

When Should You Seek Treatment?

You don’t have to wait for a crisis to seek help. A mental health provider can help you understand what you or a loved one is experiencing and figure out what kind of care might help.

Consider talking with a professional if you or someone close to you is:

  • Hearing or seeing things others don’t
  • Talking about beliefs that don’t match reality
  • Withdrawing from friends, family, or usual activities
  • Having trouble with work, school, or self-care
  • Showing confused or disorganized thinking or behavior

Thoughts of suicide or self-harm are a reason to reach out, too. If you or someone you know needs support right away, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.
