Folks - I’m talking to some clinical experts / groups about developing some special videos for people who have psychosis / schizophrenia and wanted to get your feedback on what you think the most important topics are that you would like to see covered in this series of videos. Please vote below on topics you feel are most important TO YOU. You can vote on multiple items - click on all the ones that you would like to see most.
Here is my initial list of ideas from what I’ve seen in the forums. Add your own ideas in messages below if I’ve missed something you feel is important to cover. Thanks!
Click on ALL OF THE topics below you would be most interested in:
I’d rather watch an educational video about schizophrenia or mental illness as a disease than watch a video about life instruction.
That being said, I’ve been stuck sitting in group having to watch videos too many times and would rather not watch anything. I’ve become soured on the whole idea of watching any videos on the subject of mental illness.
I answered which I’d rather see if stuck sitting in group, as that’s where videos like these always seem to end up. Of the choices presented, I chose reducing the risk of relapse.
I already did, I voted for all the ones I said. Thanks for pointing it out. Blame my poor concentration that I didn’t see it said you can pick up to 11.
I would like to have some guidelines on the most common side effects of the APs we use…
E.g. Abilify = Akathisia
Olanzapine = Weight gain and diabetes
Risperdal= sexual dysfunction
Latuda =
Xeplion =
Haldol =
Geodon =
Etc.etc.etc
Now see that is the type of red lights for each AP we should be aware of before hand so that we can get a contingency plan in place. The side effects should be explained in easy terms for everyone to understand
Totally agree on that. I told my pdoc on the last appointment we should chose the next ap considering the side effects. We mentioned abilify but I’m not looking forward akathisia
I would also be interested in these topics: Coping with the symptoms-especially for the recently diagnosed, medication compliance, the effects of substance abuse on the illness, thank you!
