Psychotic disorders in children are characterized by a loss of contact with reality, often involving hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and abnormal behavior.

Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing these conditions effectively.
Types of Psychotic Disorders in Children

Schizophrenia: Childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) is a rare and severe form of schizophrenia that appears before the age of 13. Symptoms include hallucinations, most often auditory; delusions; disorganized thinking; and emotional withdrawal. Children with schizophrenia may also exhibit cognitive impairment, poor academic performance, and social difficulties. Early warning signs can include speech delays, unusual behavior, and a decline in functioning.
