Family members' experience of seeking help for first‐episode psychosis on behalf of a loved one: a meta‐synthesis of qualitative research

The findings provide a novel insight into this experience, suggesting implications for clinical practice. These include a focus upon the facilitation of early positive interactions with family members and for first-episode psychosis to be presented to families in a normalizing manner. The need for future research that examines the experience of those who do not seek help from health services is discussed.
