Psychotic conditions
Psychotic conditions, such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or bipolar disorder with psychotic features, involve significant changes in a person's thoughts, perceptions, and behavior, often manifesting as hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren't there) and delusions (false, fixed beliefs). Dealing with these conditions requires a multi-faceted approach centered on professional psychiatric care, adherence to a personalized treatment plan, and the cultivation of a strong, compassionate support system. Our assessments explore symptoms and changes in behavior or functioning, always with sensitivity to the individual’s lived experience. Treatment plans may include medication, supportive psychotherapy, and coordination with family or care teams to ensure safety and continuity of care.
