Lowering risk of psychosis and preventing relapse.
Not every case of psychosis can be prevented, but risks and relapses can be reduced.
Reducing the risk of a first episode
Early recognition
Preventing relapse
Postpartum psychosis
Women with a history of bipolar disorder or earlier postpartum psychosis should plan with a psychiatrist before and during pregnancy.
Ayurvedic view (interpretive)
Regular routine, adequate sleep and calm are emphasised traditionally. These support wellbeing but do not replace medicines.
When to get help
Seek urgent help for new hallucinations, delusions, or thoughts of harm. Call 112, or Tele-MANAS 14416.
Remember
Avoiding drugs, keeping routine, and sticking to treatment reduce risk and relapse.
