Inside Psychosis: What happens, why it happens and how recovery begins
About this audiobook
What really happens inside the mind during psychosis?
Inside Psychosis offers a compassionate and fascinating exploration of hallucinations, delusions, paranoia and confused thinking. Discover how a psychotic episode can begin, what the experience may feel like, and why it can seem completely real to the person living through it.
This accessible audiobook examines the possible causes of psychosis, including genetics, trauma, severe stress, sleep deprivation, physical illness, prescribed medication and recreational drugs. It also explains the connection between psychosis and conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe depression and postpartum psychosis.
Learn how psychosis is assessed and treated, how antipsychotic medication and psychological therapies can help, and what families can do during a crisis. Challenging frightening myths and harmful stereotypes, Inside Psychosis delivers an ultimately hopeful message: psychosis is treatable, recovery is possible, and the person experiencing it is never merely a diagnosis.
