[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d try to get into your Virginia first psychosis program. Call Arlington Community Services Board (CSB), Alexandria, CSB, or Fairfax CSB. They’ll have a whole program set up to manage delusional thought and hallucinations. It was a psychiatrist, counseling and group sessions.

In Maryland head to John’s Hopkins speciality clinics.

The private psychiatrists usually don’t know how to manage psychosis. Nor do they have programs.[/quote]

These programs often are called "first episode psychosis" (FEP) programs.  The thinking is that long term outcomes are better when first episode psychosis is properly treated.  In addition, to the above suggestions, and the one earlier in the thread for UMD, Sheppard Pratt in MD has a FEP program called "On Track Maryland"  https://www.sheppardpratt.org/care-finder/ontrack-maryland/.  The website has contact info for the program.

The program part can be important for FEP, because there are all kinds of other issues that are impacted like work and school as well as disability benefits and family education/therapy.

I encourage you to take a NAMI Family to Family class -- good education about a variety of diagnoses and the issues that arise for family/caregivers. [/quote]
