FEATURED VIDEO: Brain Attack
Because psychotic episodes damage the brain, it is imperative to comply with treatment to prevent more damage. In this video, Henry Nasrallah, MD, and Bethany Yeiser, BS, compare a psychotic episode, or “brain attack,” to a heart attack. Just as a patient will do anything from diet to medication to prevent a second heard attack, persons with a psychotic break must adhere to medication to prevent further brain damage. The role of long-acting injectable medications to prevent relapse is discussed.
