Schizophrenia vs Psychosis
UntilThen
December 25th, 2017
I hear people mixing these things up or just not being sure what they both mean specifically so I figured I'd make the information easily available.
Psychosis is what we call the condition that causes one to experience hallucinations, delusions, and detachment from reality.
Schizophrenia is a condition which has psychosis as a part of it but also includes symptoms such as...
- Thoughts feeling too fast or too slow
- Difficulty remembering things
- Difficulty organizing thoughts
- Confusion
- Dissociation
- Depression
- Paranoia
It can be hard to tell if someone has schizophrenia or if they have psychosis and comorbid disorders that cause some of the other symptoms. Only a professinal can tell for sure
