Psychosis is a medical term used to describe hearing or seeing things or holding unusual beliefs that others do not share. Psychosis causes people to perceive or interpret things differently from those around them. Around one to three in one hundred people will experience a psychotic episode at some point in their life.
Our Early Intervention in Psychosis team have developed a range of materials designed to support GPs if they suspect someone may be experiencing a first episode of psychosis.
