Dr. Martin Lepage talks to Les affaires magazine about how to deal with a colleague or employee experiencing a psychotic episode.

“You shouldn’t try to criticize the person’s delusions or tell them they’re wrong. You must encourage them to seek help to treat their symptoms,” explains Martin Lepage. Employers need to be discerning. If performance difficulties are linked to a mental health disorder, the psychosis must be treated before terminating employment.”
