Psühhooside

Psühhooside is the Estonian term for psychoses. Psychosis is a serious mental health condition that causes a person to lose touch with reality. This can manifest as hallucinations, which are seeing or hearing things that are not there, and delusions, which are false beliefs that are firmly held despite evidence to the contrary. Individuals experiencing psychosis may also exhibit disorganized thinking and speech, and their behavior can become unpredictable or erratic.

The onset of psychosis can be sudden or gradual. It is often associated with conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe depression. However, it can also be triggered by substance abuse, certain medical conditions, or extreme stress. Understanding psychosis is crucial for providing appropriate support and treatment to affected individuals.

Treatment for psychosis typically involves a combination of medication, such as antipsychotics, and psychotherapy. Therapy can help individuals manage their symptoms, develop coping strategies, and re-establish a connection with reality. Early intervention and consistent support are key factors in recovery and improving the long-term outlook for those experiencing psychotic episodes. It is important for individuals, families, and communities to be aware of the signs and symptoms of psychosis to ensure timely access to professional help.
