In an article by CBC Radio, Dr. Jai Shah, psychiatrist and researcher at the Douglas Institute, comments on the challenges of diagnosis. He emphasises that a mental health diagnosis should not be seen as a sentence: with best practice care, people living with psychosis can recover, learn to manage it and lead fulfilling lives.

« This has been shown over and over and over again in … studies from here and [other countries] that people get better with typical-form psychosis, provided that they get best-practice care and treatment. »
