I like how this is broken down to simplistic terms so that the everyday person, who does not typically have experience with a psychotic person, will understand. First aid for psychosis involves staying calm, reassuring the person, and helping them feel safe. Avoid arguing or confronting delusions, and seek professional help immediately if the person is at risk of harming themselves or others. #mentalhealthawareness #mensmentalhealthawareness #psychosis #988lifeline
