Tips from ODSW February 2016: Sibling's Guide to Psychosis | Página 27

More Information:
Case Study
Here, we have a case study by a sibling
with a loved one going through Psychosis.

What are the initial feelings you face after finding out the
diagnosis of your siblings?
I was unaware of my brother's condition so I felt very
confused and helpless. Only after a case manager
explained to me then was I clearer about his
condition.

How did you overcome the negative emotions faced, if any?
Thanks to the help of trusted facilities like IMH (Institute of
Mental Health) and spending time accompanying and learning to
assist and listening. There was a private help and counselling
group that I participated in which helped me to see clearer the
condition my brother was in, along with a weekly session from
this private counselling group to assess my own emotions and
feelings so that I am in the best condition to help my brother.

It is strongly encouraged for you to contact your
brother’s or sister’s case manager for more
information and support.
