Prtty much echoing what you said, in this video Cecila McGough, who has schizophrenia, talks about how important it is that people don't do anything to confirm her hallucinations.

- Daub 2y agoThanks
- cutemonster 2y agoI was wondering why she wasn't looking at the camera or interviewer. Turns out the reason was that she saw an hallucination in that direction. So she looked away, she explains, in a follow up video 5 years later: (I found via the YouTube comments section) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n7Wzb6esnpU https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n7Wzb6esnpU Here she's much better, and explains how she got better (in the beginning of the video)
- BrandoElFollito 2y agoI like how rational she is with not talking about the hallucinations. What she describes is exactly what would happen with me (looking in the direction of the hallucination, together with the whole room).
- Abimelex 2y agoThat's good to know, but it leaves you without many options, since all the experts also suggest not to confront them with reality. So how to interact with somebody who as a psychosis and sees a complete twisted reality?
- throw4950sh06 2y agoCall an ambulance. Acute psychosis needs immediate treatment, they may easily hurt themselves or others. The psychosis can be stopped with one injection, don't prolong their suffering. Before the ambulance arrives, try to reassure them that they are safe, there is peace around them and help is on the way. Once the ambulance arrives, go away - it might get messy.
- Abimelex 2y agoI am not sure from which country you gain your perspective, but in Germany it's not what's gonna happen. Your human right is the highest good, and police or any doctor is only permitted to force you to take drugs or put you in a clinic when you are acute suicidal or you harm others. Unfortunately I know that first hand.
- throw4950sh06 2y agoA person with delusions like that is a risk to themselves and others.
