How Does Not Real, But Feels Real: Demystifying Psychosis & Delusions Work?

It’s like thinking you’re playing with your favorite toy, but it’s actually just your imagination running wild.

Imagine you're sitting in a room by yourself, and suddenly, you see a friend from school right across the table. But wait, there's no one else in the room! That’s psychosis, where things seem real even though they’re not. It feels like you're having a conversation with someone who’s actually there.

Sometimes, people think they hear voices or see things others can't, that's called delusions. It's like having a superpower where your brain tells you stories that aren’t true, but they feel totally real, just like when you believe Santa is coming down the chimney even though you know it’s just your parents!

Think of your brain as a detective, normally, it solves clues and knows what's real. But with psychosis, it gets confused and starts believing things that aren’t true, like thinking the TV is talking to you or that your teacher has become a superhero.

It’s not magic, it’s just your brain having an adventure! It’s like thinking you’re playing with your favorite toy, but it’s actually just your imagination running wild.
