What is Psychosis & First Episode of Psychosis (FEP)?
Psychosis is a condition that affects how a person thinks, perceives, and understands reality. It may cause someone to see, hear, or believe things that are not based in reality. Psychosis is a symptom, not a label, and it can happen to anyone.
First Episode of Psychosis (FEP) is the first time these symptoms appear. Early treatment is important and can greatly improve recovery and long-term outcomes.
Common signs may include:
-
Hearing or seeing things others do not
-
Unusual or strongly held beliefs
-
Difficulty thinking clearly or concentrating
-
Withdrawal from friends, school, or work
-
Sudden changes in behavior or emotions
If you notice these signs, seeking help early can make a meaningful difference.
