Psychosis is a mental state characterized by impaired reality testing, typically presenting with delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thoughts or behavior. It is a core feature of schizophrenia spectrum disorders, though it can also occur in mood disorders, bipolar disorder, and neurocognitive disorders. Antipsychotic medications are effective in treating psychotic symptoms but are commonly associated with a range of side effects, including extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), metabolic syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, and QT interval prolongation.
