I spoke with Tamara Welikson, PhD, PA & NYS Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Manager of the UPENN Psychosis Evaluation and Recovery Center, about what psychosis is. My recovery has also been mostly through the COVID-19 pandemic, making telemedicine appointments with my therapist and psychiatrist a necessity. During my recovery from psychosis, I was doing so much work on what had potentially contributed to my first episode - complex trauma, anger, and grief - that it was nearly impossible to come to terms with the self-stigma and fears I had about what others would think at the same time. In fact, it took years before I felt ready.
It took me a long time to feel ready to talk about psychosis. I have managed those conditions over the years with therapy, medication, exercise, creative activities, and communicating with my support system. Earlier in my life, I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depressive disorder (also called clinical depression). I currently take Zoloft (an antidepressant) and Abilify (an antipsychotic). I stopped sleeping for weeks on end and was in a difficult situation, both of which I believe largely contributed to the episode. My symptoms were a sensory hallucination (smell), confusion, paranoia, fear, and disconnection from reality. I was diagnosed with psychosis several years ago, during an episode in which I took myself to the emergency room. I’ve worked in healthcare publishing for years, and I am grateful my first chance to write about my own mental health journey came when I started working for Healthline.

It’s also got a veritable shipload of effects, and allows you to program individual bulbs to respond to the bass, mids, and highs in your tunes.This article contains mentions of hallucinations, trauma, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. What sets it apart is the fact that it syncs your lights up perfectly with the music you play rather than relying on your phone’s microphone to pick up incoming sound, which often causes a slight delay. AmbifyĪmbify is hands down the best Hue music app you can get right now. Here’s our top 10 picks for the best Philips Hue apps. Now that Hue is starting to catch on in a big way, more and more Hue apps are popping up, so we’re here to bring you a quick roundup of the best ones. Luckily for users, Philips released a Hue API so that third-party developers can build new apps for the lights. It’s clunky, slow, and cumbersome to use. Unfortunately, the company’s proprietary smartphone app is absolutely terrible. Philips’ line of Hue connected bulbs are arguably one of the coolest devices to hit the market this year.
