Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Psychosis is a chronic and severe psychiatric disorder with remission and exacerbation of symptoms during its course. Due to illness patient have hallucinations, thought disturbance and mood symptoms. All these things make patient to live in imaginary world.

In symptomatic phase of illness patient do not have insight regarding illness as they do not considered themselves ill. Due to that they even deny need for any treatment. Due to that it is difficult for patient to monitor his symptoms or mood.

In psychosis improvement occur with help of medicine (antipsychotics), which change patient behavior in positive way. These medicines should be taken in psychiatrist supervision only.

Wish you good health and all the best.
