Brief psychotic disorder is the short-term

perceiving other sensations that are not actually

brief psychotic disorder are temporary and
symptoms last less than one month. This disorder
is characterized by the sudden onset of symptoms
such as hallucinations, delusions, catatonia
(disorganized thinking), irregular speech and
language, problems with memory, disorientation or
confusion, poor decision-making and changes in
eating or sleep habits.

Psychotic disorder types

• There are three different types of brief
  psychotic disorder that commonly occur. The first
  type, called brief psychotic disorder with
  obvious stressor or brief reactive psychosis, can
  occur shortly after a traumatic event or major
  stressor, such the death of a loved one or a
  natural disaster. This disorder may also occur
  without an obvious stressor. When there is not an
  apparent stressor or traumatic event that has
  triggered the symptoms it is considered brief
  psychotic disorder without obvious stressor.

Causes of Psychotic disorder

• Brief psychotic disorder may have a genetic
  component as it occurs most often in families
  with mood disorders. People may also be more
  likely to develop brief psychotic disorder due to
  inadequate coping skills or among those who have
  personality disorders. Brief psychotic disorder
  does not occur often, but is more likely to occur
  in young adults and females. Blood tests or brain
  imaging may help detect the disorder.

Symptoms Of Psychotic disorder

• People who develop symptoms of brief psychotic
  disorder often have delusions, which are
  incorrect beliefs that the person will continue
  to have despite evidence to the contrary. The
  patient also may experience hallucinations such
  as seeing things that arent there, falsely
  feeling the sensation of touch or may hear
  voices. People with brief psychotic disorder may
  also exhibit strange behaviors, may be indecisive
  and have difficulty with memory and irregular
  sleep and eating patterns.

Treatment Of Psychotic disorder

• Treatment for brief psychotic disorder often
  includes psychotherapy, which will help the
  client reach the root of the problem causing the
  psychosis, and antipsychotic medications. The
  patient will want to contact their doctor if
  their medication is not having the desired
  effect. The patient should be sure to follow a
  treatment plan to assist them in managing their
  symptoms.
