Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Psychosis can be cured with drugs and there are lot of antipsychotic that help to cure psychosis, risperidone one of them. According to trial, clozapine is best effective antipsychotic in case of psychosis and in case, you left drug, symptoms would re-emerge. Duration of treatment depends upon the symptoms, if symptoms stay for long, duration could be for life long. Psychosis happens due to chemical imbalance, may be due to underline defective genes. You can not control it without drugs.
