Experiencing psychosis doesn’t automatically mean someone has schizophrenia. Understanding the difference is an important step toward reducing stigma and connecting people with the right care.
In this WMTW Mental Health Moment, Sweetser’s Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) Medical Director, Dr. Abhilasha Khurana, explains the differences between psychosis and schizophrenia, common warning signs, and how early intervention and individualized treatment can help people manage symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.
Dr. Khurana also highlights her upcoming Sweetser Training Institute workshop, Demystifying Psychosis, designed to help clinicians better understand, assess, and respond to symptoms of psychosis with greater confidence. Learn more and register at Sweetser.org/Training.
