Psychosis Help

Are you are having trouble thinking? Are you hearing things that seem strange or that other people don’t hear? Best thing to do is to go to your family doctor or a doctor in a clinic and tell them about it. They can check you out and figure out what is wrong and what to do. Lots of things can cause these kinds of symptoms, and a doctor is the best person to help. Also check out our information about psychosis , or visit the basics about psychosis page.

Help for a friend or family member

If you know someone you think might have psychosis, encourage them to go to their doctor for a checkup. If they seem to be really ill and the doctors office isn’t open, take them to emergency. Don’t try to argue them out of any strange beliefs or paranoia they might be having, but you don’t have to agree with them either. The best thing is to help them get medical help. Also check out our information about psychosis, and our information for family members and supporters. If you have a friend who you think might have psychosis, you can also check out the video there about someone who helped her friend get help, or the basics about psychosis page.
