Psychotic Disorders Treatment

Psychotic disorders may be perplexing, overwhelming and even frightening to the user, not only to the loved ones. These disorders distort the reality of the person, and he/she might not realize and what is real. Fortunately, they can be stabilized with the right treatment and the quality of their life can rise significantly.

Florida Atlantic Coast Treatment Solutions in Melbourne, FL, is available to assist individuals in coping with psychotic disorders and find their way towards long-term recovery.

What is a Psychotic Disorder?

Psychotic disorder is a very critical mental illness whereby a person loses their sense of the world. This may involve:

  • Hallucinations (perceiving or hearing something that is not there)
  • Delusions (false or irrational beliefs)
  • Scattered thought or speech.
  • Erratic or unusual behavior

Psychosis is not a disorder but a symptom that may be present in such ailments as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe depression or even in the case of a schizophrenic and affective disorder.

Brief psychotic disorder is one of them, which can occur in the aftermath of trauma or excessive stress. It is transient, but it still requires urgent medical attention.

Types of Psychotic Disorders

When dealing with a psychotic disorder, the type of disorder should be known. Common types include:

  • Schizophrenia: A condition that could be chronic and which concerns behavior, feelings and thoughts.
  • Schizoaffective Disorder: A mix of psychotic symptoms with mood disturbances like depression or mania.
  • Brief Psychotic Disorder: Brief psychotic disorder is the surprisingly sudden onset of psychosis caused by stress or traumas, and it occurs within less than a month.
  • Delusional Disorder: Presence of persistent delusions without other severe psychotic symptoms.
  • Substance-Induced Psychotic Disorder: It is a disease that is triggered by taking or ceasing to take drugs.
  • Psychosis due to medical conditions: this is linked to brain impairments, infections or neural diseases.

Treatment plans that can be found at Florida Atlantic Coast Treatment Solutions are designed according to the diagnosis and needs of that person.
