Never challenge a hallucination (Ask- What are you seeing? Be curious, but don't question or engage the hallucination.). Do not refer to their hallucinations or delusions as demons.

Be mindful of language used to discuss medication consult professionals as much as possible. Do research on medications, side effects and the experiences of Black people with the medications.
