Join us for an insightful conversation with Kelly Anderson, Ph.D., the Group Practice Owner at Wellness Therapy of San Diego. Dr. Anderson specializes in treating individuals with severe symptoms of psychosis and schizophrenia. She has a particular passion for supporting those who find themselves in the challenging middle ground—too impaired for typical private practice care but not in need of hospitalization or intensive care.

In this episode, we delve into:

  • The distinction between ‘psychosis’ and ‘schizophrenia’
  • Common and less common but equally challenging symptoms of psychosis and schizophrenia
  • The link between substance use and the onset of a first psychotic episode
  • The stress-vulnerability model of schizophrenia
  • Reasons why individuals with psychosis or schizophrenia may discontinue their medications and withdraw from loved ones

Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of these complex conditions and learn more about the nuanced care they require.
