Medical Conditions

Our department of psychiatry excels at the compassionate treatment of those afflicted

by mental illness. While ‘psychotic’ is a commonly used word, in medical parlance it

describes a specific condition. Psychosis is the condition wherein a person’s sense of

reality is impaired. It is actually used to describe a subgroup of mental illnesses. It is

characterized by an inability to think clearly, logically and rationally and, in

consequence, results in the inability to comprehend reality, communicate well and

behave in an appropriate manner.

Psychosis can be debilitating and has a number of symptoms such as delusions and

hallucinations. Delusions are odd, irrational beliefs which aren’t normally acceptable

to other people of similar cultures of groups. Hallucinations are inaccurate sensory

perceptions perceived in the absence of real stimuli such as hearing voices which

aren’t really there. Psychosis can also be caused by medical problems such as brain

tumours, brain diseases, abuse of alcohol and drugs, dementia, HIV, epilepsy and

even some prescription drugs.

People who suffer from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other personality

disorders often experience psychosis that manifests itself as strange behaviour,

thought process and speech. Here at Ramakrishna we have psychiatrists with the

relevant clinical experience to manage and treat these patients
