Psychotic disorders manifest through a variety of symptoms that can be overwhelming for both the individual and their loved ones. The primary symptoms of psychotic disorders include:
These are false beliefs that are strongly held despite evidence to the contrary. Common delusions include paranoid beliefs, such as thinking someone is plotting against you, or grandiose beliefs, such as thinking you have special powers or are a famous person.
Hallucinations involve seeing, hearing, feeling, or smelling things that are not present. The most common type of hallucination in psychotic disorders is hearing voices that others do not hear.
This symptom involves incoherent or illogical speech and thought patterns. Individuals may jump from one topic to another in a way that makes conversation difficult to follow.
This can include unpredictable agitation, difficulty with daily activities, or bizarre posture. In some cases, individuals may exhibit catatonia, which is a marked decrease in responsiveness to the environment.
These refer to a decrease in the ability to function normally. Symptoms include reduced speaking, diminished emotional expression, and withdrawal from social activities.

At Texas Psychiatry Group, our approach to treatment is personalized, focusing on the unique needs of each individual. Our multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists work together to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that may include:
