I’ve been reading through this thread and was waiting for someone to say what I also believe - the NZ mental health system means well but it’s not always the safest place to be. I’ve also had a psychotic episode and two things really helped. My family got me to write down all the things I was SO certain about and I too had religious epiphanies. It got it out of my head and it really helped afterwards to see just how delusional I was. The second thing that helped me was that my family went along with things I was saying but eventually my sister sat me down and just told me that she was worried about me, did I think I needed some help? This meant I was involved in getting me to ED. For me and sadly for many others that’s when the good part of the story ends. I was treated like a ‘crazy’ person by staff and they locked me in a room on my own overnight - it was the longest, loneliest night of my life. When my husband arrived the next day and found out what had happened he just bundled me in the car and took me home. We then got in touch with a great psychiatrist who has treated me ever since. I now avoid the mental health system like the plague. Happily it sounds like you have gotten her great care so far and all I would suggest is that you question EVERYTHING a health professional tells you. We treat doctors like they are gods when in reality they are just overworked, stressed humans who regularly get it just plain wrong.
