What is
Psychotic Depression?

Psychotic Depression is a mental health issue that can impact individuals in different ways. Understanding and addressing it through therapy can lead to improved well-being and quality of life.

What Is It?

Psychotic depression is a severe form of depression that includes symptoms of psychosis, such as delusions or hallucinations. These can be mood-related, often reinforcing feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or fear, and add complexity to the depressive experience.

Common Experiences

People may feel deeply hopeless, hear voices, or believe harmful things about themselves that aren’t true. It can be confusing and distressing, especially when it's hard to separate what’s real from what the mind is telling them.

How It Can Affect You

Psychotic depression can affect safety, daily life, and self-identity. Therapy alongside medical treatment, can help by building understanding, managing distress, and supporting emotional recovery. With time, therapy offers tools for healing, stabilisation, and reconnecting with a clearer sense of self.
