Lives Reimagined: Changing the Course of Psychotic Illness (Ep. 125)

Written By Randye Kaye

Opening: Poetry from Zachary Sutphin

Guests: authors of the new book (same name) - Katharine Dougherty PhD, Lisa Mann, PhD , and Dr. Rocco Marotta

THEMES: Hope and persistence are critical

No two cases are exactly the same

Medication and adherence and sobriety are important to sustained stability

It takes a team and long-term relationships to sustain stability

Communication among team members is critical

Taking small risks and succeeding leads to other risks

Rigid ideology has no place when you are untangling complexity and nuance

The diagnosis of NBD is often tied to a sense of shame and failure for patients and families

There are many important layers to the recovery journey

Constant reevaluation is important and this includes the importance of patient feedback
