Our Hāpai Ora team will work together to support our young people and their whānau through their journey in moving forward with their lives.
What is Psychosis?
The term psychosis refers to a range of unusual experiences that a person may have. Psychosis may affect how that person thinks, feels and experiences the world. These experiences can result in difficulty telling what is real from what is not and can be quite distressing. It can have the potential to disrupt a person’s ability to concentrate and maintain life responsibilities (work, study, relationships). When someone is affected in this way they are said to be experiencing a ‘psychotic episode’.
An episode of psychosis is treatable and recovery is expected
Psychosis often starts in early adulthood and is relatively common: 3 in every 100 people will experience a psychotic episode during their lifetime, and almost anyone can be affected. Onset may be gradual (difficult to detect early on) or may occur more rapidly.
