How do you work with clients with schizophrenia and psychotic disorders?
With psychotic disorders, precision in diagnosis is critical. I take time to understand the full history and rule out other causes before making treatment decisions. I prescribe antipsychotic medications very carefully, always balancing effectiveness with side effects. I explain the benefits and risks in detail so you can make informed decisions about your care. I encourage openness and questions because trust is essential in this work. My approach is grounded in compassion, education, and a commitment to making sure you feel informed, respected, and supported throughout treatment.
