Psychosis Self-Check Quiz
This is a self-check tool that can help you find out if you might be experiencing symptoms of psychosis. This self-check does not include all symptoms or all the possible reasons why a person might be experiencing them. This tool cannot give a diagnosis. Only a professional can make a diagnosis. Not sure what psychosis is? Check out Psychosis: The Basics.
This self-check is for people 17 and older. If you are under 17 your results may be less accurate. This self-check is not perfect and we advise you to take action and seek help if you are distressed. Some of the experiences asked about in this self-check are quite unusual. Please carefully read each statement and decide if your answer is “yes,” “no,” or “unsure.”
We will not share your answers or any information about you with anyone. Please see our privacy policy for more information.

What You Should Know
Losing touch with reality is considered a major part of a condition known as psychosis. Defining “being out of touch with reality” is not easy. The questions in the quiz that you just took are some examples of the kinds of experiences that can indicate a person is losing touch with reality and may be experiencing psychosis. These experiences may be a result of stress or can happen while a person is high on drugs. Sometimes people will answer yes to some of the questions even though they are not experiencing psychosis. For example, a person may say “yes” to the question that people are out to harm them because they are being bullied at school.
Psychotic episodes are periods of time when symptoms of psychosis are strong and get in the way of regular life. When psychosis occurs, getting help early is very important because the longer it goes on the more seriously it disrupts a person’s life. Because it is difficult to know whether an unusual experience might be associated with a serious problem, it is always best to check it out with a professional.
