People who are underemployed are much more likely than others to experience recurring mental health issues. Furthermore, our sense of identity largely emerges in relation to the work we do, whether voluntary or paid.

It is essential that people are able to talk and think about their experiences in a calm, supportive, and judgment-free environment. This is the foundation for any form of help and should be the first thing offered by any professional or service. Often, this opportunity is the most important thing any mental health professional can do. Psychotherapy, also called psychological therapy, is essentially a more formalized opportunity for people to talk and think about their experiences. This helps people make sense of their experiences, discover what they mean to them, and find what is helpful. Psychologically, we understand psychotic experiences just as we understand other human experiences.

Many people find medication helpful, particularly in acute crises when the experiences may feel overwhelming. It can reduce the intensity of the experiences and help by making them less disturbing. It can also be helpful later in the lifespan, or even long-term, by making the experiences more manageable and reducing the likelihood of them increasing in severity or intensity.

Community is the most important source of support for many people. Whatever the nature of the difficulties, the most important things are those we all need: supportive relationships, adequate housing, freedom from financial dependence and other worries, having meaningful and meaningful occupations, or playing a valuable role within our community.

A good relationship with professionals is essential to the recovery process. This means sharing a framework based on respect, where different difficulties can be shared without fear of judgment.

Centrarse en los propios intereses y objetivos de la persona puede resultar muy útil. Aunque para ello no siempre sea necesaria ayuda externa, los profesionales pueden ayudar a identificarlos, planear cómo conseguirlos y cómo lidiar con las dificultades en el camino. 

El período de mayor sensibilidad para la aparición de las primeras experiencias psicóticas está comprendido entre los 16 y los 23 años, momento en el cual se desarrollan aspectos sociales y de la identidad fundamentales de la persona. Entre ellos sus relaciones más significativas entre iguales y la elaboración de un proyecto de vida, formativo y laboral.
