What is psychosis?
Psychosis is a mental health condition that causes a disconnection from reality, often manifesting as hallucinations, delusions, and confusion.
An episode of psychosis can be triggered by various factors, including mental health disorders, substance use, or physical health issues.
Psychosis is not a sign of weakness or personal failure. It’s a medical condition that requires treatment and care.
Types of psychosis
Postpartum psychosis
A rare but serious condition that occurs shortly after childbirth, characterized by severe mood changes, hallucinations, and delusions.
Drug-induced psychosis
Triggered by the use of substances such as stimulants, hallucinogens, or alcohol, this type of psychosis can occur as a negative side effect and may last as long as the substance remains in the body, but can persist in some cases.
Cannabis-induced psychosis
Psychosis that results from excessive marijuana or cannabis use, often linked to high THC levels. Symptoms usually subside once the substance is metabolized, though underlying mental health issues may exacerbate symptoms.
Schizophrenia
A chronic condition where psychosis is a long-term symptom, often manifesting as persistent hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking.
Bipolar disorder
Psychotic symptoms can occur during manic or depressive episodes, often including hallucinations or delusions.
Severe depression
In extreme cases, depression can trigger a psychotic episode and certain symptoms, including paranoia or hearing voices.
Brief psychotic disorder
A short-term mental health condition that involves a sudden onset of psychotic symptoms.
Signs and symptoms of psychosis
- Hallucinations: Hearing voices, seeing things that aren’t there, or feeling things that aren’t happening.
- Delusions: Holding beliefs that are not based in reality, such as thinking you have special powers or that others are plotting against you.
- Disorganized thinking: Having trouble organizing thoughts or making sense of conversations.
- Impaired reality testing: Difficulty distinguishing what is real from what is not.
- Mood disturbances: Emotional swings or extreme mood changes.
- Cognitive challenges: Difficulty concentrating, remembering things, or making decisions.

Frequently asked questions
Get answers to common questions about psychosis treatment.
Can psychosis be cured?
Psychosis is a complex and nuanced disorder. Depending on the type of psychosis you are experiencing and the severity of your psychosis symptoms, there are many forms of treatment to manage your psychosis effectively.
“Curing” your psychosis depends on your individual circumstances. However, with support such as antipsychotic medications, therapy, and community support, you can get to a life-long place of clarity and mental wellness.
How long does psychosis last?
The length of psychotic symptoms depends on the root cause of the symptoms and your individual circumstances. Some diagnoses, such as brief psychosis, can last anywhere from a few days to a month.
Other psychosis diagnoses can be chronic and last indefinitely. Finding treatment can reduce the frequency of your symptoms and improve your overall quality of life. Call us today to begin your treatment journey.
What does psychosis treatment include?
Psychosis affects each person differently, which means treatment for psychosis varies depending on the severity of your symptoms. Our treatment programs for psychosis include individual therapy sessions using therapy modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and group therapy sessions with your peers.
You’ll also meet with a case manager in both an individual and group setting to develop coping and life skills to take with you after treatment. We also integrate holistic group therapy into our treatment programs, which includes mind-body healing through yoga, meditation, sound baths, and more.
How long does treatment for psychosis typically last?
Treatment length varies by individual, but many people begin seeing improvement within weeks to months. Long term treatment may be recommended to stabilize symptoms, build coping skills, and support ongoing recovery. Your clinician will create a personalized plan based on your needs and progress.
Can therapy alone help with psychosis?
Therapy can be very helpful, but psychosis is most effectively treated with a combination of approaches. Clear Behavioral Health often uses therapy alongside medication management, psychoeducation, family support, and skills building to reduce symptoms and improve functioning.
How do I know if I, or a loved one, needs psychosis treatment?
If you notice symptoms such as hallucinations, delusional thinking, extreme confusion, withdrawal from others, or a sudden change in behavior or functioning, it’s important to seek help. Early evaluation by a mental health professional can determine whether symptoms are related to psychosis or another condition.
Does early treatment improve recovery outcomes?
Yes. Early intervention is strongly linked to better long-term outcomes. Getting treatment as soon as symptoms appear can reduce the severity of episodes, improve stability, and support faster recovery.
