What are psychotic disorders?

Imagine your brain is like a radio, sometimes it picks up signals from other stations that aren't supposed to be on. Psychotic disorders are when your brain gets confused and starts hearing or seeing things that aren’t really there, just like the radio playing songs you didn’t tune into.

When someone has a psychotic disorder, it’s like they’re stuck in a dream, even when they're awake. They might see people or hear voices that no one else can see or hear. It's not because they're pretending; it feels real to them, just like how a dream feels real while you're dreaming.

Sometimes, having a psychotic disorder is like getting a superpower, you might see things others don’t, or understand secrets that are hidden from everyone else. But sometimes it can feel more like being lost in a maze, where the walls move and change when you're not looking.

It’s just your brain working differently, like how some kids hear music in the rain or see shapes in clouds!
