Hello,
I’m just trying to find resources and information/experiences about how people are coping with, in particular, dealing with friends and family who don’t quite understand the seriousness of certain conditions…
Hi Phil,
I suspect this takes time and is part of the treatment process. Is your wife receiving talking therapies?
There is information here which may be of help https://www.mind.org.uk/search-results?q=acceptance+of+mental+health+diagnosis#stq=acceptance%20of%20mental%20health%20diagnosis&stp=1

Dear Phil
I care for a relative with psychosis.
It is hard for others to appreciate how hard psychosis can be for the sufferer and the family.
I keep on explaining and the message gradually gets through to some but not all.
I wish you strength.
Warm wishes Ula
