Schizophrenia

When Psychosis Comes Back

Experiencing psychosis, and the loss of contact with reality it’s associated with, is frightening and disruptive. Return of symptoms can be common and equally stressful. Tom has worked in the field of psychotic disorders for 30 years, including evidence-based practice around prevention and treatment. He shares what we now know helps the most to reduce or avoid relapses, including key parts in a relapse prevention plan.

Tips for Communicating

If you have a family member who has a mental illness, it can sometimes be extremely difficult to communicate with them. This is because mental illnesses may affect their ability to think clearly or concentrate. A person can also be more stressed when they have difficulty understanding what is said or what is expected of them.
