Staying well
Taking medication consistently, protecting sleep and staying connected to school, work or community lower the chance of relapse. Long-acting injectable options can be discussed when appropriate.

Psychosis care for Portsmouth families
Families in Portsmouth often contact us after noticing gradual changes in a son, daughter or partner. Psychosis often first appears in the late teens or twenties, including among students at Great Bay Community College. When a higher level of care is needed, we help coordinate with services such as Seacoast Mental Health Center.
Care for the Portsmouth community
Portsmouth brings together a busy downtown, the Pease Tradeport and a large military and shipyard community. Many residents work irregular hours in hospitality or healthcare, and some cross the bridge into Maine for work. Video visits are popular, provided you are in New Hampshire at the time of the appointment.
When more support is needed
When someone needs more intensive or specialized care, such as a first-episode psychosis program, we help with referral and coordination.
Getting care from Portsmouth
From Portsmouth, our Salem office is about 45 to 55 minutes by car. Many Portsmouth patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.

Can family attend visits?
Yes, with the patient's permission.
