What should you do if someone is experiencing symptoms of psychosis? Phillip Rice, Jr., MD, Chair of Emergency Medicine at Salem Hospital, discusses what to do when someone is having a psychotic episode. Psychosis symptoms include nonsensical speech and experiencing sights, sounds or other sensory events that others don’t perceive. When engaging with someone experiencing psychosis, try to remain calm and non-confrontational. When it feels safe to do so, contact for help from mental health and substance abuse experts.
