What Is a Psychotic Episode?
5. Warning Signs of Psychosis
Although there is a lot that we do not know about psychosis, we are often able to recognize the symptoms that one is soon to begin. If people are at school or college, for example, then a drop in their grades can be a sign that there’s a problem. The patient might sometimes also start spending more time alone than they usually would, and they can become irrationally suspicious of other people.
In some cases, the patient can also stop taking proper care of themselves and their hygiene standards can drop. Some patients will begin reacting unusually strongly to some situations, while others will appear to have no emotions whatsoever. Patients can also begin to have mild hallucinations.
