The most important thing is for the person to get help early. The condition is treatable and much of the accompanying distress can be avoided if they or people close to them can spot these signs and get them psychiatric help quickly.
At Psynaptica, our psychologist can help with diagnosis and work with a psychiatrist in providing treatment. Psychotherapy for psychosis will involve psycho-education about psychosis as well as medication, improve adherence to medication and build cognitive, emotional and social skills. At Psynaptica, we also believe in working closely with the family to help family members cope and provide adequate support for the person with psychosis.
