Psychosis
What exactly is psychosis?
Psychosis is a mental health condition characterised by a disconnection from reality, manifesting through confused thoughts, hallucinations, or delusions. Hallucinations involve seeing or hearing things that others do not; while delusions are strong – yet objectively false – beliefs. Despite common misconceptions, people experiencing psychosis are not inherently dangerous, and with the support of medically-guided, curated treatment, can lead fulfilling lives. Psychosis can affect anyone, regardless of their background, lifestyle, success, or capabilities, and is often triggered by factors such as substance misuse, medication, or other underlying conditions. Ultimately, identifying and understanding the root causes of psychosis is the vital first step for effective treatment and recovery.

What is Harbor London?
Harbor stands as a beacon of hope for individuals grappling with psychosis.

At Harbor, our goal is to foster a sustainable recovery that empowers individuals to reclaim their lives. Our emphasis on creating a supportive, compassionate environment allows patients to feel understood and secure, which is vital for healing.

How we work
The everyday impacts of psychosis
Psychosis can profoundly impact everyday life, extending far beyond the episodic hallucinations and delusions that characterise the condition. It can interfere with an individualʼs ability to think clearly, manage emotions, make decisions, and relate to others – this can lead to significant disruptions in personal and professional life, often exacerbating feelings of isolation and distress. For those suffering from substance-induced psychosis, the situation can be even more complex.
Psychosis often coexists with other mental health conditions such as substance misuse, mood disorders, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and personality disorders. These co-occurring disorders can create a vicious cycle, where each condition exacerbates the other, making recovery seem unattainable. For instance, an individual with bipolar disorder experiencing a psychotic episode induced by drug addiction may face extreme mood swings, heightened anxiety, and impaired cognitive function, complicating both diagnosis and treatment. The effects of psychosis also extend to physical health. Conditions such as anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder, and alcohol addiction are not uncommon among individuals with psychosis.
The stress and confusion caused by psychosis can lead to poor self-care, neglect of personal health, and an increased risk of substance abuse as a misguided coping mechanism. What’s more, the stigma associated with psychosis can prevent individuals from seeking help. Misconceptions about the condition often lead to social ostracism and a lack of support from family and friends. This isolation can deepen feelings of depression and burnout, further entrenching the individual in their struggle.

Additionally, we offer alternative therapies such as mindfulness and art therapy to support overall mental wellbeing.
Are there medications that can help manage symptoms?
