Early Intervention in Psychosis
This service was setup to support individuals when they first develop symptoms of psychosis. Symptoms vary a lot but common signs are:
- seeing or hearing things that aren’t there (hallucinations);
- feeling as someone or something is interfering with your mind or body (ideas of reference);
- having thoughts people are conspiring against you or are talking about you on the TV or radio (delusions);
- struggling keeping thoughts in order or keeping track of tasks (thought disorder).
The service aims to intervene early and get you back on track after your first episode.
