Hi, I watched the program and hope that lots of other people watch it too. My husband, who has schizophrenia, didn't watch it because he needs lots of sleep, but I'm hoping he will watch it on iView. Thank you to the brave people on the program for sharing your stories, many of which my husband would identify with.

My experience with schizophrenia didn't include hearing voices but I did once have visual hallucianations that spoke to me. I spoke to my parents whom I thought were sitting in the room with me until they both evaporated before my eyes. I have also had the delusion that people can read my mind. I thought my thoughts were so loud that others could hear them. I also thought I could see people eyeing me and boring into my brain. Another delusion that I have had is that other people were automatons and weren't really conscious but I was. It made me feel very alone.

I have some questions: as a mental health worker-with little to no medication training-how can i best help someone experiencing schizophrenia or psychotic illness/experience? How helpful have people found talking therapies? And how best to challenge a delusion you believe might endanger a person?
