Husband with Psychosis

Husband with Psychosis

Hi there,

I'm new here an hoping someone has some useful advice for me. My husband recently went through an episode of psychosis two weeks ago. I have gotten him help and have his on anti-psychotics, although I'm still waiting to see results - I've head from one doctor that I'll see results in two weeks, and from another I'll see results in two months. There are a few things I'm struggling with though. He is so adamant to get back to work, and he is very difficult to explain to that he needs healing and time to recover. I understand that it is impossible to rationalize with someone in this state right now, but he may have found a job opportunity and I'm just wondering if I should just let him go do it?

I'm worried about it because during the afternoon his behaviour changes drastically and he can get very angry if told no or that he is doing something wrong. He's been happy with strangers and new people that he meets, but will working again cause stress that triggers another episode?

I'm really unsure what to do an how to feel in this situation because it doesn't feel right to let him go back to work right now even though he is obsessed with getting a job.
