Psychotic disorders are severe mental disorders that cause abnormal thinking and perceptions. People with psychoses lose touch with reality. Two of the main symptoms are delusions and hallucinations. Delusions are false beliefs, such as thinking that someone is plotting against you or that the TV is sending you secret messages. Hallucinations are false perceptions, such as hearing, seeing, or feeling something that is not there.
Common psychotic disorders include:

Telemedicine
Telemedicine provides essentially the same care as in-person visits when a physical exam isn’t needed which is the case for psychiatry. We are still able to everything we would if you were seen in the office such as ordering labs and prescribing medication but we get to provide this to you while you remain in the comfort of your home.
