For most mental health conditions, experiences are understood within the context of one’s life, and a range of approaches are offered to support recovery. However, psychosis is treated differently. Too often, the first—or only—response is medication and hospitalization. Therapy or other supports are overlooked, undervalued, or even denied. People deserve care that acknowledges their full humanity. The ISPS movement champions access to diverse approaches to psychosis, including therapies, peer support, culturally specific care, and crisis alternatives - because medication should be one choice among many, not the only option.
