Psychosis Triggers

Psychosis is a mental disorder characterized by distorted thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions. It is usually caused by a combination of biological and environmental factors, such as a traumatic event or prolonged stress. There are many things that can trigger a psychotic episode, including:

Stress: Prolonged stress can lead to an imbalance in the brain chemicals that can cause delusions and hallucinations. Stressful events such as job loss, divorce, or the death of a loved one can also trigger a psychotic episode.

Substance Abuse: Substance abuse is a major risk factor for developing psychosis, as drugs like cocaine, marijuana, and alcohol can have a damaging effect on the brain.

Genetic Predisposition: Some people are more likely to experience psychosis if they have a family history of mental illness.

Traumatic Events: Experiencing a traumatic event such as physical or sexual abuse, or witnessing a traumatic event can trigger a psychotic episode.

Medication Side Effects: Some medications, such as certain antipsychotics and antidepressants, can have side effects that can cause hallucinations and delusions.

Sleep Deprivation: Not getting enough sleep can cause an imbalance in brain chemicals, which can lead to psychosis.

Illness: Certain illnesses, such as brain tumors, stroke, and HIV/AIDS, can trigger a psychotic episode.

Isolation: People who are socially isolated can be more prone to developing psychosis.
