How to Support Someone with Psychosis: 5 Tips

[@psychshell4644]

As a nurse, I have seen hot weather & poor hydration negatively impact those on SSRI's and/or those with a mental health dx. It's wonderful knowledge that I can bring to my mental health practice.

I just want to say I went through an entire mental breakdown, partially due to health issues I was not aware of at the time, and watching your videos helped me get through it. I didn't have anyone in my life to help me and I was having panic attacks repeatedly. I live alone and have always taken care of myself. At the time I thought I was literally losing my mind, I really believed I was going insane. But, your videos helped me to understand what was actually going on and it felt like there was someone that really understood. It was incredibly helpful for me to get through those dark years. I am back to my original self and I am so thankful you exist!

[@DocSnipes]

Awwww. I am so grateful to have been of service and I appreciate your kind words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am very thankful for you. 🙏

So sorry that you had to experience that and, thank 🙏🏿 the man above for running across the Doc videos. I to 6:45 o rely on her videos to get through my struggles and what I learn, I help other people who are having struggles in life. Sorry you don't have someone to talk to. I'm in California and I'm here if you need a listening ear. I pray that all is well..🤗💞

What do you do when you have a family member with paranoid schizophrenia who does not believe she is ill and therefore refuse medications. She has been in psychosis for 10 years. We are told that as long as she doesn't hurt herself or someone else, there is nothing we can do. This is horrific for her and for us. She is being tortured by this. Why can't there be help prior to a major incident happening?

[@DocSnipes]

I am sorry you are going through this and I appreciate you watching the video

[@hope4all366]

@@DocSnipes I appreciate your videos and your kindness. Thank you.

[@ummhasan6]

I would love an answer on this too. I'd also like to know how to get someone who was involuntarily hospitalized to understand why they were hospitalized even though they believe they don't have a problem and blame the family for making the hospital believe they are "crazy". If anyone knows of a forum or group where these types of answers can be obtained please share. The video is great; however, it only helps when someone is acknowledging they are having delusions. If they don't believe it you can't begin anything.

[@crishuez]

I am in the exact same situation. Refuses medication and wants to talk about delusions for hours. If I don't agree with the delusions, he becomes angry. I'm exhausted.

[@hope4all366]

@crishuez There is a KZbin channel called Schizophrenia Three Moms in the Trenches. Maybe I will see you there. I'm sorry you and your loved one are going through the same situation.

Thank you Doc. Can you pls do a video about Epilepsy? My daughter got her first Grand Mal Seizure 10 months ago. She was 13 at that time & from then on she started getting Absence Seizures frequently & another Grand Mal Seizure after 6 months. Her MRI was normal, but her EEG was erratic even when she was calm. There is no family history of epilepsy, either maternal or paternal. Sometimes I think that her brain might be affected by the Covid Vaccine, as before that she was completely normal, a very happy & intelligent child. Now the medications have lowered her IQ. We began with Keppra, which made her behave psychotic, so we switched to Lamotrigine now. I'm so scared to send her to school or leave her alone even while sleeping, as her first Seizure was during sleep & second was while she was in an online class.

Hello doc how r you

Hi, Dajni. I am good, thank you. How are you?

What is an auditory aphasia ? Is it like a speech aphasia ?

[@DocSnipes]

Thanks for watching the video. Auditory aphasia, more commonly known as auditory verbal agnosia or pure word deafness, is a type of aphasia where a person has difficulty understanding spoken words while retaining the ability to read, write, and speak normally. This condition results from damage to the auditory pathways in the brain that are responsible for processing spoken language. People with auditory aphasia can hear sounds and recognize non-verbal auditory cues like the tone of a voice or environmental sounds but have trouble recognizing spoken words as meaningful language. The condition often arises from lesions or damage to the left temporal lobe of the brain, particularly areas that are crucial for language processing, such as Wernicke's area. Despite their difficulties with spoken language, individuals with auditory aphasia usually do not have impairments in their ability to recognize written words or their own ability to speak. This specific disconnect makes the condition quite distinct and can be particularly challenging in terms of communication.

[@kathalinehansen7078]

Can those who have audio aphasia communicate through sign language? Seems they might, since it isn't verbal.
