-- Mission Prep has released a new guide covering adolescent psychosis - from the main symptoms for parents to look out for, to the most effective treatment methods - so local families can make more informed treatment decisions.

Mission Prep notes that psychosis is more common than most people think - and in fact, on average, 3% of people in the US will experience an episode during their lifetime. One of the most common times for it to strike is in adolescence.
A spokesperson states: "With our guide, you can learn more about the treatment options available - from psychotherapy to supportive therapies - so you can get your loved ones the support they need."
When psychosis hits teens, reality slips away from them and they start believing things that aren't true, hearing voices, or seeing things nobody else can see. Their words get mixed up and confused and even basic problem-solving becomes nearly impossible.
Psychosis has a range of triggers that parents should understand. Sometimes it's bipolar disorder or another mental health condition; other times, trauma, drug use, or underlying medical problems cause it. However, psychosis doesn't guarantee a lifetime of mental health struggles or conditions like schizophrenia.
As the guide explains, early warning signs are often subtle, but catching them can prevent psychosis from getting worse. Two of the most common are declining school performance and social withdrawal - which frequently appear before full psychotic episodes develop.
At Mission Prep, each teen receives a personalized plan that combines medication with different types of therapy and support. Treatment focuses on handling current symptoms while also addressing what triggered the psychosis. Some types of therapy help teens change distorted thinking, while other types teach them practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions.
"We firmly believe in treating the entire family system and allowing families to address the challenges of their children in a safe, sustainable way," the team adds.
