Early signs of psychosis can vary based on the individual, but may include changes in thinking or speech, difficulty focusing, unusual or paranoid beliefs, withdrawing from family and friends, or experiencing things that others don’t—hearing voices or seeing things that others do not see or hear, for example. These symptoms can be confusing and frightening, which is why early support is crucial.
