Is psychosis curable or is it permanent?
There is a huge misunderstanding around psychosis, and it causes problems for both the patient and carers. Let's end the stigma taboo.
The purpose of this video is to try and break this stigma to allow for accurate and effective diagnosis and treatment.

I am currently dealing with my wife that had a psychotic episode. We are still in a recovery phase. It’s been rough and going on 3 weeks. Her reality is totally different from mine. She lost all her rights and was admitted to a mental hospital. It killed me knowing she was there. Luckily I was able to speak with the judge at her hearing and was able to get her back. I can say the following with absolute certainty. If you choose to help a loved one who has a psychotic episode, be prepared. It is a 24 hour operation. I was lucky enough to get disability from my job. With that being said, it’s completely devastating for me and our children. You are dealing with someone who isn’t their self. The false memories were probably the most painful. The paranoia of someone coming to take them away was bad as well. As we are going through the recovery, the anger coming from her is probably the hardest. It is so had to hold back due to the fact that it’s hard to have a loved one be so mean. The lack of sleep, the loss of their personal IQ, it’s extremely difficult. I would not have it any other way. Between me and her mom and her family, we are doing everything we can to support her. Be warned, if you decide to take a loved one through the healing process, it’s a long hard road. It’s a road I am still on and hopefully we will see the end soon.

Hey 👋 I wanted to thank you for leaving a comment and express how much courage and strength you’re giving to support your wife in this awfully difficult time. I too was extremely aggressive to my family, it felt like an emotional release all at once and I said some very nasty things. But, we’re now closer than ever. Family therapy helped us a lot, so during her recovery I’d recommend that. I wish you both all the best and I’m here if you need any further support or advice. Mike

Hey Emma, Firstly, thank you for sharing your experiences. Psychosis is both difficult for us and our friends and relatives. Although it’s hard to stay positive, it’s important that we understand how powerful the human body and our brain is at healing. I can’t comment on what you’re currently going through, as only you truly know what life feels like to you. Have you received any form of treatment? You’re not alone and I’m here to help where possible 💚
