Psychosis is a mental health disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality, causing individuals to experience hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking. This condition can severely impact a person's ability to function in daily life and can be a symptom of various mental health disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression. Research in the field of psychosis aims to better understand the underlying causes of these symptoms, develop effective treatments, and improve the overall quality of life for individuals living with this condition. Studies in this area often involve neuroimaging, genetic analysis, and clinical trials of medications and therapies.
