    Stay calm and be patient. Many people who’re actively psychotic find others threatening,which can lead to agitation,and being calm and kind can go a long way to temper

  • Listen but respect personal space and be cautious. People with psychosis can be somewhat unpredictable at times and,if you feel unsafe or threatened,don’t feel obligated to continue in
  • Offer assistance if feasible. If someone seems distressed,offer to help them find a police officer or get to an emergency department if they’re willing,but only go so far
  • Don’t try to counter their symptoms. If someone is hearing voices or has delusional beliefs (paranoid beliefs are most common),don’t tell them these voices or beliefs aren’t reality.
  • Recognize your own limits. People with psychosis need kindness and support but,in addition,very likely need treatment with a psychiatric team.
  • Recognize the limitations of the illness. Psychotic illnesses have multi-fold effects on the brain,potentially including cognitive impairment and also insight issues.
