Women and Psychosis
An Information Guide
Pamela Blake, April A. Collins, Mary V. Seeman
Psychosis can be frightening, confusing and distressing. Some people who develop
psychosis will only have one psychotic episode in their life, while others will go
on to have a more serious and recurrent form of the illness.
Women and men often have different concerns about the impact of psychotic illness
and effects of treatment on their lifestyle and life choices. This guide is written
for women who have had a psychotic episode and for their families. It explores the
issues women face as they recover from psychosis and as they make decisions to move
ahead in their lives.
