How do I manage the anxiety associated with the psychotic symptoms I have?

In many cases it is normal to have anxiety associated with the presence of psychotic symptoms, especially positive symptoms such as hallucinations or delusions.

A good strategy for managing anxiety at a physical level is relaxation techniques. At an emotional and cognitive level, a psychotherapeutic intervention focused on the analysis of negative emotions and thoughts related to the psychotic disorder is recommended.

If necessary, and if the previously discussed strategies are not working, specialized professionals can prescribe medication to help you reduce your anxiety levels.
