Psychosis is a severe mental disorder in which there is a break with reality and deterioration of normal social functioning. There are many types of psychoses including schizophrenia where a person may hear voices or be convinced that he or she has special powers or that people are out to get him. A psychotic condition can be caused by medical problems, drug use, or psychological stresses.
