Inhaltsangabe:

When your teenager begins to lose touch with reality, everything changes at once. You may have watched your child pull away, say things that make no sense, or grow frightened of things you cannot see. Perhaps a doctor or a hospital has already used the word psychosis. However you arrived here, you are scared, and you need two things at the same time: to understand what is happening, and to know exactly what to do about it.

What this book gives you
When Your Teen Has Psychosis is a clear, practical guide through one of the most frightening experiences a parent can face. It shows you how to tell a real warning sign from ordinary teenage change, what to do in the first hours of a crisis, and how to get your child to the right kind of care quickly. It explains why speed matters more than most families realize, then walks you through the mental health system, the diagnosis, the treatment, and the long work of recovery, one step at a time.

Why this book is different
Instead of clinical theory, this guide follows the real path a family walks, from the first worrying signs to the long view of recovery. Each chapter is built around a single, memorable principle and ends with one concrete action you can take that week. Realistic family stories, plain-language explanations of psychosis and its treatment, ready-to-use scripts, checklists, and crisis resources by region turn fear into a plan you can follow.

This book is for readers who...
This book is for parents and caregivers of a teenager or young adult who is showing early signs of psychosis or recovering from a first episode. It speaks to mothers, fathers, grandparents, and older siblings who want to understand what is happening. It supports families waiting for an assessment, working with a treatment team, or helping a child through school, crisis, and the months that follow. It is written for anyone who wants to become their child's steadiest and most effective ally.

A clear path through a frightening time
You do not need clinical training to help your child through this. You need to know what to look for, how to act, and where to turn. If you want a calm, practical, evidence-informed guide to supporting a teenager through a first psychotic episode, this book offers a structured place to begin.
