Take a Schizophrenia & Psychosis Self-Assessment
Both schizophrenia and psychosis can influence the way a person thinks, perception of reality, emotional processing and how a person interacts with others. Some of the first symptoms would probably be an unusual belief or thought, hallucinations like hearing or seeing things which cannot be shared by others, confusion becoming withdrawn from the social environment, or noticeable change in the way of being and the motivation.
Before You Begin

Understanding Your Screening Result
Psychosis is a set of symptoms where an individual may become detached from reality. Schizophrenia is a psychological condition which can involve a state of psychosis, plus a range of cognitive, emotional motivational, and behavioural changes. This brief quiz presents the types of situations and feelings that mental health professionals would typically take into account when doing an evaluation.
What Does It Explore?
Hallucinations: Whether you've experienced hearing voices, seeing things, or sensing experiences that others do not. Unusual Beliefs: Whether you've developed persistent beliefs that seem unusual or difficult for others to understand. Thinking & Concentration: Whether confusion, disorganised thinking, or difficulty communicating has affected daily functioning. Emotional & Social Changes: Whether you've become emotionally withdrawn, less motivated, or socially isolated.
What Does Your Result Mean?
A higher score does not confirm schizophrenia or psychosis. It simply suggests that some experiences may deserve further discussion with a qualified psychiatrist. A comprehensive evaluation considers: symptom history, medical conditions, sleep and stress, substance use, emotional wellbeing, and family and personal history.
Why Is Early Assessment Important?
Early recognition and treatment can significantly improve long-term outcomes. Professional assessment may help identify whether symptoms are related to schizophrenia, brief psychotic disorder, bipolar disorder, severe depression with psychotic features, trauma, or another medical condition.
