    It is where you hear or see things that are not there and believe things that are not real. It is mostly caused by drugs and sereve mental health problems
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Hey @ellie2000 The Mix has a really easy-to-read article all about psychosis and some helpful videos as well - https://www.themix.org.uk/mental-health/psychosis/psychosis-6636.html

    Are you concerned about you or someone you know experiencing/believing things that other people don’t?

    Echoing @Shaunie here, but it's officially listed as when you 'lose touch with reality'. It usually involves hallucinations (seeing/hearing things that aren't there) and delusions (firmly believing things that have no truth), although other symptoms can be involved. NHS website explains it in more detail well x
