A member asked:
Can you offer some advice for someone who's about to start treatment for psychosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stay the course: It can be a very scary time, but it is great that you have started treatment. Make sure to get friends or family members on board, so they can support you. Nami is a great organization. Don't stop your medication abruptly-- be sure to talk to your doctor about any concerns you have.
