Schizophrenia/psychosis
Understanding When Specialized Care Is Needed
Schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and other concerns involving psychosis require care from clinicians equipped to assess and treat these conditions. Changes such as hearing or seeing things others do not, unusual beliefs, or difficulty distinguishing what is real deserve professional assessment.
Mentis Psychiatric Services does not provide primary treatment for psychosis under its stated practice scope. This page helps clarify where to seek appropriate support rather than offering psychosis treatment at Mentis.
Finding the Right Treatment Setting
Contact a qualified mental health provider or a program that offers care for psychosis. Your primary care clinician, existing psychiatric provider, or insurer may help you identify available services. If symptoms are new or worsening, seek assessment promptly rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. In the United States, call or text 988 for crisis support.
How I Can Help
If you are unsure whether a separate outpatient concern fits Mentis’s services, contact the office before booking. You can also review our anxiety care and depression care pages. Any appointment depends on individual clinical suitability.
Our care may include:

- Review coverage with your insurer

No. Psychosis can occur in different mental or medical conditions. A qualified clinician should assess the cause and recommend appropriate care.
Ask your primary care clinician, current psychiatric provider, or insurer about services that treat psychosis. Confirm the program’s scope and availability directly.
Seek professional assessment promptly. If there is immediate danger or an emergency, call 911 or go to an emergency department.
Yes. Contact the office before scheduling and describe the care you need. A suitable appointment cannot be assumed without a review of fit.
