For those who have been diagnosed with a mental disorder such as psychosis or schizophrenia, treatment is long term and often fraught with ups and downs as medications are adjusted or changed and life stressors affect the course of treatment.
Supportive psychotherapy combined with the help of a good psychiatrist are essential components to long term stability.
The challenges you face with having a mental illness can be difficult for even the most well intended family and friends to understand. Psychotherapy can help you stay grounded, out of the hospital, and help you manage your illness in the most optimal way. With your consent, I will collaborate with your other treatment providers to ensure your treatment is coordinated and optimized to your particular needs..
