Yeah, I went back to stay with my family when my psychosis got bad this time around & I am convinced that is part of the reason that it didn't get as bad as last time. Due to both the largely trusted company & the fact it helped with my anxiety which is a big trigger for me.
Even my GP said that being isolated was bad & clearly it is as not only are symptoms more noticeable but you can't escape them & you can ruminate on what is going on.
I'm not saying that being socially involved is an alternative for meds but it's a coping mechanism & it might mean people can manage on lower doses of medication than if they were isolated.
It definitely plays a role.
