- Most of the time, your loved one won’t suddenly lose complete control of himself. You’ll probably notice signs leading up to a psychotic episode. Symptoms vary, but there are some common ones, including: Mistrustful or suspicious beliefs or ideas
- Unexpected outbursts
- Isolation from friends and family
- Noticeable mood changes
- Trouble sleeping
- Bizarre behavior
Call your doctor for advice if your loved one’s mood changes or his thinking seems unusual. If he’s stopped taking his medication, but doesn’t seem like he’s going to hurt you or anyone else, encourage him to visit the doctor with you.
