Hi

Psychosis can be well treated with counseling sessions and homeopathic medicine effectively. You need an expert Psychologist who is a good homeopathic physician.

Staying with someone who is diagnosed with Psychosis wouldn't have been easy for caregivers and for the patient as well. It can be stressful, emotionally and physically Good to know step has been taken and she is having medicine but remember this is not any regular cold and fever that will go away in one week.

Hi dear concerned, it will take a few weeks to get properly settled down . Kindly keep patience and take Medication as prescribed by the Psychiatrist.

Hi Your mother in law under treatment for psychosis and on medication so have patience because it will take time, support her to come out of this condition and care for yourself too.

It is quite well-known that the medicine (Risperidone) that your mother in law is on right now for psychosis takes 4 to 6 weeks to start showing perceivable results. Please check this up from her psychiatrist. Your feeling that her hallucinations have reduced by itself shows that the medicine is showing results even in one week. In a condition like that of your mother in law, anything satisfactory or unsatisfactory happening in the behaviour / symptoms of the patient needs to be referred to the doctor if it is significantly observable. So, I would suggest you to report her condition to the doctor and seek advice. Please remember, treatments like what she is undergoing right now are often slow and the best would be to accept the pace of treatment the way it is, in consultation with the treating doctor.

Hi, Medicines take time to react to the psychotic symptoms. Continue with the medications, because it’s not working dosent mean it will not work. All the family members also need to be patient enough, do not try to give explanations and proves to her delusions. It will take time to break them.

Hi, it's important to consider therapy with a Clinical Psychologist along with the medicines. The medicines work on the medical imbalance but a therapist is needed to work on thought patterns.

It take sometime to settle down.connect with psychiatrist
