Mental Disorder #6: Psychotic Disorders
Our senses do a pretty awesome job at letting us know what is around us. We can see, hear and feel our surroundings and we are also able to distinguish fact from fiction. With psychotic disorders, though, it can even become difficult to tell what is really there and what is not.
Psychotic disorders are likely to cause hallucinations. This can mean seeing, hearing and even feeling things that are not there. They can see people and objects that don’t exist and hear voices of people that are just not there. Psychotic disorders can also lead to delusions, which means believing things to be true despite there being plenty of evidence showing they are not.
