Interacting with Someone in Psychosis | Advice Series

Our latest video in our advice series answers the question: "I was wondering if you have any advice on how one should interact with a loved one who is in the midst of a psychotic episode?"

I provide my own experience with this as well as advice I've learned from trying to navigate it myself.

I have a background as a social worker and of course have my own experience navigating living with schizoaffective disorder. In these segments I try to bridge together these two perspectives. However I am not a medical practitioner so all advice is purely based off my own experiences and should not be taken as medical advice.

If you would like to submit your own question or scenario for advice, please email a few lines to [email protected]
