Did you discuss it with family/friends? It's not so much the hallucinations, more a lack of trust in anyone around him (including family). Thinking everyone is working against him, talking behind his back, wife is cheating etc. All made worse by alcohol, no hobbies and a stressful job. He has no interest in doing anything about those issues either. Thanks.

Thanks. I had a read through it. Some of the parts mentioned in the diagnosis section are accurate with him, particularly the delusions. Convincing someone that their thoughts aren't real is difficult to say the least. I've tried and failed to get him to talk to a doctor before. Don't know what else to do.

I know this thread is mainly about depression but has anyone dealt with or knows someone who has dealt with psychosis or something similar? I don't really understand how it'll work if (assuming I'm diagnosing correctly) it's discussed with a GP. What will the process involve?Is there a standard time off they'll give? What happens with their job? Will they have to go back to work after x amount of months no matter what? I just want to get out in front of it before appointments start being made. Got another account but wanted to keep it private. Not for me btw. A friend. Thanks for any info.
