Do you feel like you ‘lost time’ during your ‘psychosis’ experience? Would you be willing to share your thoughts on this for research purposes to inform support?

Woman stand in the middle of a foggy forest. There are big clocks scattered all around. Concept of time and chosing your right path.

ISPS are carrying out a study into the recovery journeys of people with lived experience of psychosis, and their perceptions of lost time in relation to psychosis and associated experiences. The study has received ethical approval from the University of Liverpool Research Ethics Committee.

Would you be willing to share your psychosis recovery story?

We are looking for volunteers to take part in research exploring the process of recovery from psychosis. The aim of this study is to better understand recovery journeys in people who have previous experience of psychosis in relation to how they might perceive of ‘lost time’. We hope that this will allow us to gain important insight into what may help to promote recovery from psychosis, and how this might better inform trauma-informed recovery pathways. If you choose to take part you will be asked to participate in a one-to-one (online or in person) interview of around 60 minutes in length.

You are eligible to take part if:

You have a past diagnosis of psychosis.
You have been recovered for at least 12 months. You MUST self-identify as currently being in a period of recovery, and have had no significant intervention or crisis intervention from mental health services for the 12-month period. This includes community treatment orders and any period of hospitalisation for mental health care. This does not include routine medical appointments, such as medication reviews, general health visitor appointments, psychotherapy sessions or clinics.
You are 18+ years of age
You speak fluent English

If you are interested in taking part in this research, we would love to hear from you! Please contact: r.r.m.ardani@liverpool.ac.uk or vvass@liverpool.ac.uk for more information.

All the best,
Victoria
