Help is needed for the young person to find out exactly what is happening and what type of treatment is required. People with psychosis often do not tell others because they are afraid of their reaction. If someone you know is showing symptoms of psychosis encourage the person or their family to seek the help of a professional such as a doctor, a nurse or a counselor.
Psychosis can be a confusing and distressing experience for the individual and their family. The whole family needs to have access to information and support. Studies show that family involvement has a very strong influence on successful recovery.
If the person and their family does not access help on their own, notify an adult who is in a position to make a difference for the person you are concerned about.
