Psychosis, described as a disconnect from reality, is often accompanied by audio and visual hallucinations, paranoia and delusional thoughts. Psychosis can signal the emergence of severe mental illnesses, most often beginning in youth and young adults. Approximately 3 in 100 people will experience psychosis in their lifetime. Though scary and disruptive, recovery from psychosis is possible. This interactive exhibit will create a destigmatized space to help participants better understand symptoms of psychosis, improve empathy for those experiencing psychosis and identify clear pathways to specialized care. Early intervention matters and makes all the difference for young minds.
