I came into our bedroom one night and he was sleeping and he, to me, looked like he had died.

And I thought I was the one that had killed him.

I was just terrified at what was going on.

And then the spiritual thing happened where suddenly I see God and Jesus in the clouds.

We've already heard on Lost Patience how psychosis can feel like a nightmare or a dream.

I didn't see anything at all wrong with it.

I just figured as long as I had my drugs, I was okay.

I had no idea I was psychotic.

So it didn't hit me the gravity of what had happened.

Coming up next week on the final episode of Lost Patients, we hear from people who found their own ways out of the dream, disability.

When I came out of the episode, I realized, oh my God, I'm married.

I thought, wow.

You know something?

There's something to what's going on here.

How much is it, is it me?

We hear how they learned to live with serious mental illness. Are you hearing voices now as we sit together in this room, or are they quiet right now?

Sometimes they're talking, but most of the time they're kind of subdued. They're quiet.

And we ask, what can we learn from these experiences that might help us build a system of

psychiatric care that works better for people. After months of talking with patients,

their families, health care providers, researchers, we glimpse what a different approach to these

illnesses might look like and what that would take. The system fails because you and I can

go to our doctor's appointment, manage our life around whatever we're doing.
