What causes psychosis, and how is it treated effectively? - #14762
I recently came across the term psychosis and learned that it involves a disconnection from reality, but I don’t fully understand what causes it or how it can be treated. I know it’s linked to conditions like schizophrenia, but what other factors contribute to psychosis? What exactly causes psychosis, and how does it affect the brain’s ability to think clearly? I read that mental health conditions, trauma, or substance abuse can trigger it—does that mean everyone who experiences psychosis has a mental health disorder, or are there other underlying causes, like brain injuries or infections? I also want to understand how psychosis is treated. Does it always require medication like antipsychotics, or can therapy and lifestyle changes play a significant role in managing symptoms? Are there natural or alternative treatments that help support mental health and recovery from psychosis? If anyone has experienced psychosis, what was the cause, and what treatments worked best for you? Did therapy or medication help, and did you find a combination of approaches more effective?
