Prognosis of Psychosis


The prognosis of psychosis varies from one individual to another. The cause of the psychosis usually determines the prognosis of the condition. If the cause of psychosis can be treated, you can completely get rid of it. The outlook is usually good with the right treatment and antipsychotic medications can help treat the condition to a large extent. These medications can also help you control and manage the symptoms. However, if the condition is caused due to schizophrenia or any other degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, you may not be able to treat it. In fact, some people may need to have lifelong medications for the treatment and management of the symptoms.
