Psychotic Depression

Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy

The term hallucinatory depression usually refers to severe depressive episodes accompanied by psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations or ideas that distort the perception of reality.

Which specialist treats it? The psychiatrist is the central professional for evaluating this type of picture, and the psychologist can support the therapeutic process; in minors, the child psychiatrist is involved.

Possible signs: deep and persistent sadness, loss of interest, changes in sleep and appetite, along with perceptions or beliefs that do not match reality.

When to ask for help? When the emotional distress is intense, prolonged, or accompanied by thoughts that worry the person or those around them. Seeking guidance from a mental health professional is a fundamental and always confidential step.
