Treatment

Next we will describe some of the different forms of help that exist.

From the possibility of talking and sharing what is happening, to the support of friends, family and environment, the help of different professionals and devices or the role of medication.We will also review some attitudes and good practices that can boost our mental health.
It should be clarified that each experience is unique. No personal problem or form of coping is exactly the same as someone else's.

There are different ways of interpreting and dealing with what makes us suffer. What happens to us can be understood as different symptoms of a disorder or as aspects of our way of being.

"It is essential to avoid rigidity in the face of different ways of helping"

Zooming in on what can help

  • Occupation, work and employment

    People who are lightly busy are much more likely than others to experience recurring mental health problems. Furthermore, our sense of identity arises in large part in relation to the work we do, be it paid or voluntary.

  • Psychological Support

    It is essential that people are able to talk and think about their experiences in a calm, supportive environment, and without being judged. It is the basis for any form of help and should be the first thing offered by any professional or service. Often this opportunity is the most important thing any mental health professional can do. Psychotherapy, also called psychological therapy, is essentially a more formalized opportunity for people to talk and think about their experiences. This helps people make sense of their experiences, find out what they mean to them, and find what is helpful. Psychologically understand psychotic experiences just as we understand other human experiences.

  • How can medication help you?

    Many people find medication helpful, particularly in acute crises when the experiences can feel overwhelming. This can reduce the intensity of experiences and helps by making them less upsetting. It can also be useful for a later period, or even in the long term, by making the experiences more manageable and by reducing the likelihood that they will escalate in severity or intensity.

  • The role of family and friends

    The community is the most important source of help for many people. Whatever the nature of the difficulties, the most important things are those that we all need: supportive relationships, adequate housing, freedom from financial dependency and other concerns, relevant occupations that give us meaning or perform a role. valuable role within our group setting.

  • Relationship and collaboration with professionals

    A good relationship with professionals is essential to the recovery process. This means sharing a frame of reference based on respect, in which different difficulties can be shared without fear of being judged.

  • Autonomy and self-care

    Focusing on the person's own interests and goals can be very helpful. Although outside help is not always necessary for this, professionals can help identify them, plan how to get them and how to deal with difficulties along the way.

  • Early attention

    The period of greatest sensitivity for the appearance of the first psychotic experiences is between the ages of 16 and 23, at which time fundamental social and identity aspects of the person develop. Among them their most significant relationships between equals and the elaboration of a life, training and work project.
