Hearing or seeing things others don’t, holding beliefs that feel out of step with reality, or finding your thoughts harder to organise than usual are experiences worth exploring with a professional, not sitting with alone.
A psychiatric assessment at Elyséa HEALTH is the appropriate next step to properly diagnose and treat psychosis. Early, accurate assessment can make a meaningful difference to long-term outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is schizophrenia the same as having multiple personalities?
No. Schizophrenia involves changes in thinking, perception, and behaviour, and is unrelated to dissociative identity disorder, despite the common misconception.
Will I need to take medication long-term?
Most people with schizophrenia benefit from ongoing antipsychotic medication, with your psychiatrist adjusting the approach based on your response over time.
Can someone with schizophrenia live independently?
Many people with schizophrenia manage well independently with appropriate, consistent treatment and support, particularly when care begins early.
How is schizophrenia diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves a comprehensive psychiatric assessment, including your symptoms, history, and how they affect your daily functioning over time.
