Mention the word psychosis to most people and they
immediately think of headline grabbing tragedies and untreatable, unmanageable
people they'd rather not have anything to do with. This is inevitable given the
way that the subject is covered in the press but it's not really very accurate.
People diagnosed with psychosis, like people diagnosed
with other mental health problems are more likely to harm themselves than
others.
This hour long tutorial lifts the lid on the myths about
psychosis and psychotic conditions like schizophrenia. It introduces
participants to the practical, common sense things that they can do to support
their relatives, their service-users and themselves. By breaking symptoms and
problems down into manageable 'chunks' and by relating them to participants'
own experiences we build a clear understanding of what psychosis and
schizophrenia really means.
The tutorial is open to anyone with an interest in the
topic be they relatives, carers or, most importantly people with psychosis
themselves.
