Hello
I am new to this forum. Hoping I can find others for reassurance and advice who are offering support to loved ones in a similar situation. My Partner had a psychotic breakdown last year which lasted for 8 weeks, we then had months of no motivation and anhedonia which lifted eventually with new medication. However he hardly speaks to me these days. He has managed to go back to work , however even some of his friends and family can see he is functioning well but unable to get much conversation from him. Often he will just sit for hours which is something he would never do a year ago prior to his break down. He continues on a high dose of antidepressants and an antipsychotic , when I ask his psychiatrist is the medication causing him to just sit quietly he is unable to give me any answer. I just want to make sure I am doing the best I can for him and want the company of my partner back.
