Abstract
The term ‘psychosis’ has evolved over time to describe a mental state that is characterized by a disconnect from reality, which can present as a range of symptoms including hallucinations, delusions or disturbed cognition. It is also a symptom for the diagnosis of related disorders. Although there is variability in conceptualizing the construct, identifying risk factors for developing psychosis and early intervention are clear mental health and public health priorities.
