Girl's and women's experiences of seeking mental health support for symptoms associated with psychosis. A Narrative Review.

Engagement in talking therapies can be difficult when services minimise the experience of psychosis related symptoms. Women may be more likely to have their symptom-related distress diagnosed as a mood disorder, rather than symptoms of psychosis being identified, preventing timely tailored intervention. Normalisation, psychoeducation, social support and validation were recommended as helpful interventions.
