Schizophrenia is a mental illness in which people interpret reality abnormally. Psychosis is a condition that affects the way your brain interprets reality.
Psychosis can be caused by Schizophrenia, but it can also be caused by other health conditions like Bipolar I or Depression, as well as medications or drug use. Psychosis can also occur in Schizoaffective disorder, Schizophreniform disorder, Brief psychotic disorder, Delusional disorder, Substance-induced psychotic disorder, and more.
Psychosis symptoms are primarily delusions (false beliefs) and hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that others do not see or hear). Other symptoms include speech difficulties, inappropriate behavior, difficulty with daily functioning, lack of motivation, depression, and anxiety.
