Psychosis
Psychosis is an umbrella word describing a group of loosely related abnormalities of thinking, behaving and perceiving. Some of these experiences are very common in society. It is estimated that more than 7% of the population have had psychotic experiences. However, only a small percentage of these people develop a psychotic disorder requiring treatment.
It is only when these experiences are persistent and overwhelming, or are causing distress and difficulties in every day life, that psychosis may be diagnosed.
