Types of Psychotic Disorders We Treat

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a complex mental health disorder characterized by symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and impaired cognitive abilities. These symptoms can make it challenging for individuals to connect with reality, engage in relationships, or maintain daily routines. While Schizophrenia is a long-term condition, with the right treatment, symptoms can be managed, helping individuals lead more stable and fulfilling lives.

Brief Psychotic Disorders

Brief Psychotic Disorders involve a sudden onset of psychotic symptoms, such as delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized speech or behavior, usually triggered by a stressful event. These episodes are temporary, generally lasting less than a month, and are often followed by a return to normal functioning. Our team works closely with individuals experiencing brief psychotic episodes to address symptoms promptly and provide strategies for coping with stress.

At Focus Point Psychiatric, we understand that psychotic disorders require specialized, comprehensive care. Our treatment approach is designed to address the biological, psychological, and social aspects of psychotic symptoms. Through tailored interventions, we help individuals achieve greater stability and improved functioning. Key components of our approach include:

• Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation: A thorough assessment to accurately diagnose the disorder and develop an individualized treatment plan.
• Medication Management: Carefully selected medications are often essential in managing psychotic symptoms. We provide ongoing monitoring and adjustments to ensure medication effectiveness and minimize side effects.
• Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy: Evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp), help individuals process thoughts and behaviors, reduce distress, and develop coping skills.
• Social and Life Skills Training: We support clients in building essential skills to enhance their social interactions, daily functioning, and independence.
• Family Involvement and Education: Family support can play a vital role in treatment. We work with families to help them understand the disorder, develop supportive strategies, and foster a positive home environment.
