When Reality Feels Different
Imagine feeling detached from reality — hearing voices, seeing things others don’t, or believing something that feels completely true but isn’t.
These are symptoms of a psychotic episode, and while they can feel terrifying, help and recovery are absolutely possible.
At Regency Psychiatric Services, we support individuals and families facing psychosis with understanding, evidence-based care, and ongoing guidance through both in-person and telepsychiatry sessions.
What Is a Psychotic Episode?
A psychotic episode is a temporary break from reality where a person’s thoughts, emotions, or senses become distorted.
It may include:
- Hallucinations (hearing, seeing, or feeling things that aren’t there)
- Delusions (strong beliefs that aren’t based in reality)
- Disorganized speech or behavior
- Social withdrawal or emotional flatness
What Causes Psychotic Episodes?
Psychotic episodes can be triggered by a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors, such as:
- Genetic predisposition (family history of psychotic disorders)
- Extreme stress or trauma
- Sleep deprivation
- Substance use (especially stimulants, cannabis, or hallucinogens)
- Neurological or medical conditions
Understanding the root cause is crucial — that’s why psychiatric evaluation is the first and most important step.
