Learn the LEAP method of communication and about anosognosia
Many individuals who have a medical condition causing psychosis or a severe mental illness (SMI), have a lack of insight into their illness. This is called anosognosia. Dr. Amador had a brother who had anosognosia and he learned and created an effective communication method for caretakers and loved ones, called LEAP. Dr. Amador wrote the book "I am not sick, I don't need help!". He wrote other books and created the LEAP Institute which also provides training resources and support.
