Psychosis is a mental health condition that affects an individual’s ability to perceive reality accurately. It involves disturbances in thinking, perception, and emotional regulation, often leading to delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized speech or behavior. Schizophrenia is a type of psychosis, characterized by more severe and chronic symptoms, affecting about 1% of the population. At Chhabra Psychiatry Centre, we specialize in diagnosing and treating psychosis, including schizophrenia, offering compassionate, comprehensive care for patients and their families.
Psychosis is marked by a break from reality, with individuals experiencing false beliefs (delusions) or seeing and hearing things that aren’t there (hallucinations). It can be triggered by various factors such as genetics, brain chemistry, trauma, or substance abuse.
Schizophrenia is a long-term condition often starting in late adolescence or early adulthood. Its symptoms fall into three categories: positive symptoms (hallucinations, delusions), negative symptoms (lack of motivation, social withdrawal), and cognitive symptoms (disorganized thinking, poor memory). Without proper treatment, schizophrenia can drastically impair an individual’s ability to lead a productive life.
At Chhabra Psychiatry Centre, we adopt a multidisciplinary approach to managing psychosis and schizophrenia. Our team of experienced psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists work together to provide tailored treatment plans.
Early intervention is crucial for managing psychosis and schizophrenia. At Chhabra Psychiatry Centre, we focus on both symptom control and long-term recovery, helping patients regain control over their lives. We also offer support for families, equipping them with the tools to understand and help their loved ones.
