Coronavirus: Lockdown psychiatric care 'severely disrupted'
"They're domineering - they tell me to run across the road and they're following me and they say horrible and nasty things."For the patients whose conditions are even more serious, phone consultations are not enough.
And the team has to had to undertake outreach work - including doorstep assessments and those made while walking with patients in open spaces - to make sure they are coping.One of these, David, said he had decided he had to visit the clinic in person because being isolated had led to him hearing more and louder voices giving him commands."I look clean - but inside I'm dirty.
"The command is something new and the doctor is going to work through with me for me to understand why the command is only negative." The Aetiology and Ethnicity in Schizophrenia and Other Psychoses study suggests 3-4% of the UK population has psychosis.Steve Church says in normal times the treatment for psychosis discourages isolation
But community psychiatric nurse Abi Smith, another member of the team, worries patients with severe mental health could now spiral out of control."The point when that's not there, you know they're having to deal with far more than the average individual would be managing at the moment."
