Psychosis intervention is certainly an important topic, but it’s not often talked about. In this blog, we’re going to go over some things that are important to understand about psychosis intervention. As always, don’t hesitate to reach out to crisis services if you or someone you know is in need of immediate attention and care.
Psychosis Intervention
As we get started, it’s important to note that psychosis can look different in different situations. Because of this, all psychosis situations should be treated uniquely and molded to meet the needs of the individual person who’s in need of support. Let’s go over some important things to know about this topic.
Mental Health Journey
One important thing to take into consideration is the person’s overall mental health journey. If this is their first time experiencing psychosis, then their experience is most likely going to be different than someone who’s experiencing psychosis for the twentieth time.
Medication
While there are many different ways to treat psychosis, many mental health professionals begin by starting with medication adjustments or additions. Someone who’s experiencing psychosis for the first time may need to start a new medication, adjust their current medications, or speak with a doctor about factors that may be influencing their mental health. Staying educated about medication options is important!
Therapy
As we just mentioned, treating psychosis can look different for everyone. However, therapy is often very helpful and can be an important part of individuals recognizing their own symptoms and evaluating their own mental health. A variety of different types of therapy can be useful in this situation, but talk-based therapy is often going to be one of the most recommended types of therapy for individuals experiencing psychosis.
