Psychosis, Delusions & Hallucination Care

Experiencing psychosis can be overwhelming, frightening, and isolating. Whether you're struggling with disorganized thoughts, hearing or seeing things that others don't, or holding strong beliefs that others challenge, you're not alone. At the American Wellness Center in Dubai, we provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for individuals facing psychotic symptoms. Our goal is to help you understand what you're experiencing, regain a sense of reality, and begin your path toward clarity and stability.

Signs You May Need Support

You or a loved one might benefit from psychiatric help if experiencing:
  • Seeing, hearing, or feeling things others do not (hallucinations)
  • Strong beliefs not based in reality (delusions)
  • Confused or disorganized thinking and speech
  • Difficulty distinguishing what is real
  • Paranoia, fear of being watched or harmed
  • Withdrawal from family, friends, or daily life
  • Sudden changes in behavior, mood, or personality

Conditions We Treat Under This Cluster

  • First Episode Psychosis (FEP): Early identification and intervention are crucial for long-term recovery and reducing relapse.
  • Schizophrenia: A chronic condition characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disorganized behavior, and emotional withdrawal.
  • Schizoaffective Disorder: Features of both schizophrenia and mood disorders like depression or bipolar disorder.
  • Delusional Disorder: Persistent delusions without other features of schizophrenia.
  • Drug-Induced or Substance-Triggered Psychosis: Psychotic symptoms triggered by cannabis, stimulants, or other substances.
  • Psychosis Due to Medical or Neurological Conditions: Conditions such as brain injuries, tumors, or dementia that can lead to psychotic symptoms.

Our Care Approach at American Wellness Center, Dubai

  • Thorough Psychiatric Evaluation: We take time to understand your symptoms, medical history, and psychological background to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
  • Medication Management: Antipsychotic medications help reduce delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thinking. We tailor your prescription plan and monitor closely for effectiveness and side effects.
  • Therapy & Cognitive Support: While medication addresses core symptoms, therapy helps you process what you've experienced, reduce distress, and improve daily functioning. CBT for psychosis, psychoeducation, and skills training are key.
  • Family Support & Education: We offer guidance to loved ones so they can better understand your experience and support you without judgment or fear.
  • Safety & Crisis Planning: If you're in distress or at risk, we develop a clear crisis intervention plan to protect your well-being. This includes managing triggers, ensuring supervision if needed, and emergency contacts.
  • Coordination with Neurology or Internal Medicine: For medically related cases, our psychiatrists work closely with specialists to address any underlying physiological causes.
