Psychotic disorders are a grouping of mental health conditions that can cause distortions in your thinking, self-awareness, and perception of the world around you. A key feature of these disorders is psychosis, which refers to the number of symptoms. Individuals who are experiencing psychosis have a hard time differentiating what is real and what isn’t.
Psychosis can include the presence of delusions, including hallucinations, and disorganized behaviors. These are known as positive symptoms of psychosis. Those who are living with psychotic disorders can experience a break from reality, like what you may expect from someone living with schizophrenia or, in some cases, bipolar disorder.
The signs and symptoms associated with psychosis and the varying psychotic disorders can vary. The National Institute of Mental Health indicated that many experience their first-episode of psychosis in their mid-20’s. However, symptoms can begin at younger and older ages, depending on the individual.
Symptoms associated with these conditions may vary in intensity and duration. They may also be influenced by stressors, traumatic events, and co-occurring disorders. Some of the common symptoms associated with psychosis and psychotic disorders include:
If you or someone you love is struggling with hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized behaviors, we encourage you to contact A Mission For Michael for a confidential and free mental health assessment. We can then explore your available treatment options, and help you find your ideal treatment program within our available programs.
Those who use insurance typically have lower out-of-pocket expenses compared to those who opt to pay for treatment themselves.

You may experience hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized speech. Symptoms may be triggered by a traumatic event.
Delusional disorder is believed to affect 0.05% to 0.1% of adults. This condition is known for causing persistent delusions without causing other psychotic symptoms. Delusions are often something that could happen in real life, or unlikely situations. Symptoms associated with this disorder last for a minimum of one month.
Schizophrenia spectrum disorder affects between 0.25% to 0.64% of adults in the United States. This condition is marked by persistent hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized behaviors. You may also experience negative symptoms of psychosis, including social withdrawal and reduced motivation. This disorder can come occur with varying symptoms and severities.
Schizoaffective disorder affects an estimated 0.3% of the population. This condition combines symptoms associated with schizophrenia and mood disorders, such as depressive or manic episodes. You may experience psychotic symptoms with or without mood symptoms, which highlights the individualized nature of this disorder.
Schizophreniform disorder affects an estimated 1,000 individuals globally. This condition is similar to schizophrenia spectrum disorder, but the duration of symptoms is shorter. Symptoms often fall between one and six months. This condition may be viewed as a precursor for schizophrenia, but it does not always develop into this condition.
Bipolar disorder with psychosis can include the presence of manic and depressive episodes, while experiencing psychotic symptoms. This can include hallucinations and delusions.

If you’re looking for a mental health treatment for psychotic disorders and psychosis, it’s important to consider several factors during your search. You’ll want to find treatment providers who are reputable, and who offer comprehensive programs. Here are some steps you can take to find the right mental health treatment center:
For many, understanding what to expect during the admission process can make the transition into treatment easier. This is especially true for those who are struggling with paranoid psychosis or psychotic depression. At AMFM, our admission process is direct and efficient so that you can receive the support you need in a timely manner. Key steps in this process include:
Watching someone you love descend into psychosis can feel like watching them slip into a world you can’t reach.
One day, they’re themselves—laughing, engaging, and living life. Then, suddenly, things shift.
They might start to express beliefs that don’t make sense, claiming to hear voices that aren’t there or seeing things that no one else can see. They might become paranoid, convinced that they’re being watched or plotted against, even by you.
Conversations become confusing and disconnected. You can’t seem to get through to them anymore.
Feeling helpless and bewildered, you’re struggling with a mix of fear, sadness, and a desperate wish to drag them back into reality.
But how can you help without worsening their condition or driving them further away?
It’s tough to see someone you care about go through psychosis. They start to lose touch with what’s real, and it can feel like you’re losing them too. At AMFM, we understand how hard this is for families, and we’re here to help. We’ve got the expertise and the compassion to help your loved one find their way back. Our approach is all about treating them with the respect and sensitivity they need, using a mix of science-proven therapies and support to tackle both their symptoms and the root causes of their condition. You’re not alone in this, and we can show you the way through it.
When someone you care about is experiencing psychosis, the changes can feel both sudden and bewildering. Here’s what you might notice:
They might strongly believe in things that don’t make sense to you, like being under surveillance or having special powers. These beliefs are real to them, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary.
They might report hearing voices talking to them or about them, seeing things that aren’t there, or feeling sensations on their skin that have no clear cause.
Their thoughts might be jumbled, making it hard for them to make sense or keep track of conversations. They might jump from one topic to another without clear connections.
They might struggle with everyday tasks, work, or school, showing a noticeable drop in performance or motivation.
You might notice them pulling away from family, friends, or activities they once enjoyed, often because of fear or mistrust.
Look for changes in mood, such as increased irritability, depression, or a flat affect, where they show little emotional response.
These symptoms can be incredibly distressing, not just for the person experiencing them but for everyone around them. Remember to approach your loved one with empathy- try to understand their reality without dismissing or challenging their experiences directly. Psychosis interferes with their sense of reality, making what they see, hear, or believe feel intensely real to them.
At AMFM, we can give you the guidance and treatment needed to figure out what’s going on and bring your loved one back to a life they love.
