Psychosis Treatment in Bangalore
Psychosis is a term that is commonly used for a collection of symptoms that indicate an individual’s disconnection from reality. Individuals may have false beliefs or experience things that are not real. Such experiences may have occurred for various reasons, including mental and physical conditions. Psychosis must be treated to prevent severe, long-term disruptions and to reduce the risk of harm to yourself or others.
Seeking treatment at the right psychiatric facility is important to improve the chances of recovery.

About Psychosis
Psychosis refers to various symptoms that affect the mind, characterised by some loss of contact with reality. During psychosis episodes, an individual’s thoughts and perceptions are affected, and they may find it difficult to understand what is real and what is not. It is often difficult to understand how many individuals experience psychosis. However, it may begin in young adulthood, but individuals may experience episodes at older and younger ages.
Types of Psychosis We Treat
There are two important types of psychosis, and treatment for them is offered at Maarga Mind Care. The two important types are as follows:
- Hallucinations: This refers to acting as if your senses detected something that isn't happening, such as smell, touch, or taste. For example, an individual hallucinating may see someone when they are not actually there.
- Delusions: These are false beliefs held very firmly by an individual. Even when others do not believe in them, and there is enough evidence to prove them right, the individual may hold on to them. For instance, an individual with delusions of thoughts holds a strong belief that someone is constantly controlling their thoughts.
A Maarga Mind Care, a psychosis doctor in Bangalore, can help alter an individual’s mental frame of mind to a great extent. These experienced doctors will provide detailed explanations and ensure the condition is treated systematically.
Signs and Symptoms of Psychosis
Though individuals typically experience delusions and hallucinations, they may also show symptoms such as incoherent speech and disorganized behaviour. Additionally, changes in behaviour may be noticed before the onset of psychosis. Some warning signs may include:
- Suspicion, uneasiness, or paranoid ideas.
- An individual may withdraw socially or spend a lot of time alone.
- Sleep cycles may be disrupted as individuals’ sleep time may be reduced or they may face difficulty in falling asleep.
- There may be a decline in self-care or personal hygiene.
- Individuals may have unusual or overly intense ideas and feelings.
- There may be a sudden drop in grades or job performance.
Types of Psychosis Treatments We Provide in Bangalore
Psychosis treatment in Bangalore can involve various professionals working together. The approach may include the following types of treatment:
- Antipsychotics: This is typically the first treatment for psychosis. They can help reduce anxiety within a few hours of use but may take a few hours or several days to reduce psychotic symptoms. They should only be used if they are prescribed.
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for psychosis is based on an understanding of how individuals make sense of their experiences and why some individuals become distressed. Therapists will help you achieve meaningful goals such as returning to work or regaining a sense of control.
- Family Intervention: It can be an effective form of therapy as it helps patients and their families cope with psychosis. Families can understand how to take care of their loved one by understanding how a psychosis episode can be managed.
- Rehabilitation: If other treatment options have not worked, you may be offered rehabilitation. Its aim is to build your confidence and skills so you can better cope with your condition.
