how can i help my loved one during a psychotic episode
Communication is impossible with a psychotic individual
anything i or you say or do is not interpreted correctly. all 5 senses are distorted.
no one is helping me deal with this husband of mine. he is getting worse by the minute.
i can't help him.
i don't know of anyone can help him.
no one was successful in helping his family members who are/were psychotic schizo so the chances are slim that anyone can do anything to make him better
He:
refuses to believe there is anything wrong with him.
hates doctors and definitely will not seek any kind of mental help
MISINTERPRETS ANYTHING HE SENSES
misinterprets my and other people's intentions, motions, reasons and feelings
hears things not there, hears them wrong
sees stuff not there
smells things not there. misinterprets a smell. example he says coffee and cigarettes smell the same
tastes are off at times, saying a food doesn't taste right when there is nothing different or wrong with it
touches practically anything sticking his fingers in things where they don't belong
