Psychotic

Psychotic disorders are a group of mood disorders that cause mental and cognitive dysfunction. They lead to abnormal thought processes and behavior, which are accompanied by strong emotional manifestations and a feeling of disintegration of the self. They are often part of a variety of mental and medical illnesses and can cause depression, mania, schizophrenia, delusions, hallucinations, inability to care for oneself, and sociopathy.

Psychotic disorders can occur at any age, but they are more common in people over 60 and older adults. The causes of these conditions still remain unclear. Some researchers suggest that there may be genetic or hereditary causes of psychotic disorders. Others believe that it may be due to many factors, including hormonal imbalances, mental factors, brain damage and biochemical changes within our body.
