Preferred Acute Hospital for Psychosis

Anyone can develop psychosis, regardless of race, age, or background. However, certain risk factors can increase a person’s likelihood of developing this condition, including:  

• Mental health disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe depression  

• Abusing or undergoing withdrawal from drugs or alcohol, or using certain medications  

• Certain neurological disorders, traumatic brain injury, infections of the brain, or severe physical illnesses  

• Experiencing significant trauma, extreme stress, grief, or major life changes  

• A family history of mental health disorders 

• Severe sleep deprivation 

Often, psychosis results from a combination of factors. The experience can vary tremendously from person to person.
