How can they affect a person's life?
The level of impact can vary greatly from person to person. Primarily, psychosis can cause distress for the individual and those around them, and can also interfere with their daily life. However, there are many things that can be done to reduce these symptoms as much as possible. Seeking professional help is extremely beneficial.
I would say that there's an endless spectrum of emotions, ranging from nothing to a lot. There are also times when the level of impact varies considerably. The important thing is to develop tools that allow us to manage and normalize it in our daily lives.
