After a psychotic episode, there are some aspects that make returning to routine difficult:

• Much of the antipsychotic medication has side effects (slows thinking, flattens emotions, lowers libido, etc.), which also makes it difficult to return to a normal routine.
• In addition, you may feel bad about actions, words, or even thoughts developed during the outbreak that make it difficult to reconnect with the people you were close to during the crisis.
• Once a person is diagnosed, it is time to confront social stigma and work on self-stigma , that is, not to create in ourselves the stereotypes that fall on mental health (dangerousness, incompetence, inconstancy, impulsiveness, etc.) feeling shame, guilt, pitying ourselves or limiting ourselves.
