Interaction between the person who is or has been psychotic and others

Psychosis is not only a burden for the person, but also for people around, resulting in interactions that can make suffering worse for all people involved. On this page problems in family interaction will be described and social stigma. The best way to fight stigma is when people suffering from psychosis present themselves as human beings. 

Expressed Emotions

Living with a family member with a psychiatric diagnosis can lead to anger and worrying. This anger and worry can be measured and is called Expressed Emotions. More expressed Emotions is correlated with more relapses. By the way high EE can also be measured on staff of wards. Families who are assisted with structured family work develop less EE. See page on family work. Some people critisized the editor for putting Expressed Emotions under the heading interaction with a person who is or has been psychotic. They say family adverstity is a cause, yes that can be, see under: epidemiological findings, childhood adversities, but EE is typically a mixture of anger and worrying that can be induced by living with a person of whom you think is dependent on you and has also upsetting behaviour. So people are catched in a dilemma: distancing the relatonship but than you are afraid the person gets into trouble or caring but then you think you have to endure upsetting behaviour. Supporting the family to find a way of coping and also preserving their own interests works very well.

Ria Lenior from Amsterdam University made a thesis on the course of Expressed Emotions: The social and symptomatic course of early-onset schizophrenia. Five year follow-up of a psychosocial intervention, A very relevant finding was that after 2 years there was no difference in psychosis relapse between a group of adolescents with psychosis with only a family friendly treatment and a group who received also a structured family intervention according to the method of Falloon. But after 5 years there was a big difference. The experimental group was less hospitalized and lived less in protected housing, while families did not differ in time spending on supporting their offspring (personal communication). There was not much difference in relapse so it could be that people could manage their psychosis vulnerability better and could survive better in society.

Stigma

Henry Gale the maker of Psychosis is nothing like a badger, writes: Talking is what I want to come out of this and talking is the only way that we can see a permanent change in the social climate surrounding mental health. Having recovered from years of continuous, debilitating mental health issues to a point where they’re still present but very much under control, I can safely say that talking is the best thing for anyone living with a mental health problem and for their friends and family. That stigma can stop this is unacceptable. It needs to be stamped out. If you are interested in watching this video,  I hope that it’s of some help to you and that, more importantly, it gets you talking!

Overall, the level of stigma was low, though families of patients with recent-onset psychosis endorsed more associative stigma than families of young people identified as prodromal to psychosis.
