How To Overcome Demotivation And Paranoid Symptoms?

Hi my son and his girlfriend are living with us at the moment (he is 25, she s 23) both have had a history of psychosis (drug induced, I think) my son s episode just recently. He is slowly improving, and I feel like I m getting my son back. It s his girlfriend I am enquiring about, because I dont know her that well, and I just want to understand as I find it difficult to deal with her. She cries a lot, almost everyday and seems to be able to switch the tears on and off. She s also super sensitive, thinking that my hubby and I are looking at her funny. Both smoke weed regularly, although since we have younger kids we have said we don t want it in or around the house (I think that s when things got a little worse with my sons girlfriend) she s very demotivated and seems paranoid about working, thinking she should have the perfect job......any ideas how I can help here?

Is the girl aware of her problems ?
IF YES - then go for a Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for her

IF NO - then i guess u need help to deal with this condition at your place and you can go for a Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. (CBT)

What is CBT ?
a type of psychotherapy in which negative patterns of thought about the self and the world are challenged in order to alter unwanted behaviour patterns or treat mood disorders such as depression.

Be Well
