Is it normal to have mental breakdown once in a while

I took my sister to the emergency unit today and i had a mental break down. All the patiences talking and the staff was tripping me out . I thought they were talking about me the whole time.

What do you mean by mental breakdown? Do you mean have a psychotic break?

No, it’s not normal! You should stay fairly stable!

What meds are you on?

Yes, you should avoid stress at all cost. It’s a trigger for psychosis.

Perfectly fine. Ask your Pdoc to increase your meds/prn of your AP.
