Psychosis

Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Psychosis refers to a collection of symptoms that affect the mind, where there has been some loss of contact with reality. During an episode of psychosis, a person's thoughts and perceptions are disrupted and they may have difficulty recognizing what is real and what is not. This can create anxiety when the person stabilizes.

Psychosis

Amy Sheffield

Psychologist, Mc(Psych), Registered Psychologist
I had just completed my undergraduate degree the first time I worked with someone who had been diagnosed with psychosis. We were about the same age and he had started attending university on a sports scholarship around the same time as myself. However, he had to stop attending classes because he became so unwell. In the early 2000’s there was still a strong consensus in the mental health community that the prognosis for psychosis was extremely poor. So instead of being handed a degree, this young man was handed an application for permanent disability financial aid and told it was unlikely he would ever complete university or even attain employment. Psychosis was considered a life sentence. I soon learned that this first client was just one of many with a psychosis diagnosis being given this same unfortunate prognosis. The agreed upon treatment was just as dismal. It was often suggested by mental health professionals that medication was the ONLY treatment. In fact, some people argued that psychotherapy would actually make psychosis worse. So if medications were unable to address all the symptoms there were no further treatment options. Thankfully research contradicting these treatment related statements soon became widespread. It is now well known that the combination of medication and psychotherapy is the most effective treatment for psychosis recovery. Highly successful professionals with psychosis, including lawyer and professor Elyn Saks, have also come forward lessening the psychosis stigma. This knowledge and experience inspired me to offer empirically supported psychotherapeutic solutions so those with psychosis can also live their best life.
