Understanding Psychosis
Psychosis is a mental health condition where a person loses some contact with reality. This can include hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren’t there) and delusions (strong beliefs that aren’t based in reality).
It can occur as part of other conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression.
Psychosis can be frightening and confusing — not only for the person experiencing it, but also for family and friends.
At MyCare247, we provide early assessment, compassionate care, and structured treatment designed to stabilise symptoms and restore quality of life.
Common Symptoms of Psychosis
Hearing, seeing, or sensing things others do not
Believing things that are clearly untrue (delusions)
Disorganised thinking or speech
Withdrawal from family and social contact
Intense fear, agitation, or confusion
Difficulty distinguishing between reality and imagination
Psychosis often appears suddenly, but early intervention leads to much better recovery outcomes.
Understanding Personality Disorders
Personality Disorders are long-term patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that cause distress or make it hard to function in relationships, work, or daily life.
They are not character flaws — they are treatable mental health conditions that require understanding and structured therapy.
There are different types, such as:
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): intense emotions, unstable relationships, fear of abandonment.
Antisocial Personality Disorder: disregard for others’ feelings or social norms.
Avoidant Personality Disorder: extreme shyness and fear of rejection.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder: fragile self-esteem with need for admiration.
