Dear Madam/Sir


Symptoms will be compatible to acute psychosis if duration is less then a month and usually recovery is better in such case. In long term roughly 1/3rd will not experience symptoms again, next 1/3rd may on and off have symptoms and next 1/3rd will definitely suffer recurrences though with treatment their symptoms can be controlled.
one of the major concern is suicidality which warrants active monitoring that it is not recurring.
Hope will recover completely.

Hi Mdanwark,

Welcome to HCM Forum,

After going through your history it seems that she having psychosis with affective features.Exact duration of illness and was this 1 st episodes only is not mentioned by you.

If this is Only first episode of psychosis,if received psychiatric treatment within 1month of onset of illness and regularly treatment continued then there is highly chances that its curable completely,will require minimum of 2 year treatment and during which no further exacerbation then medicine can completely stopped.And in such situation within few months of treatment she can completely return to state what was present before start of illness.

Remember that duration of untreated illness is most important - less it is gives more positive outcome and prolonged one then chances of cure decreases but symptomatic improvement will be there.Within few months patient usually shows significant improvement and chances of stopping treatment might there,also patient doesn't have insight most of time so she will not take treatment on her own - so here caregiver role is most important in giving personal attention and to continue medication as per psychiatrist advise.

Hope it helps.
Best Regards.

Hello....
Thanks for your query. Acute psychosis is usually stress related and lasts only for a few weeks. It infact requires no treatment and infact the psychotic symptoms resolve by self. However, a brief course of low dosage antipsychotics will be beneficial for resolution of psychosis. This is the difference between acute psychosis and chronic forms of psychosis like schizophrenia.
I assure that the patient would completely return to normal. Adequate sedation can be assured with benzodiazepine sedatives in the meanwhile. Wish him good health.

Dear,
The details you gave about the psychoses is inadequate.
Psychoses is curable only when it is treated in the first stage itself.
As it advances, it moulds the neuro system, whicch makes it more difficult to cure.
If it is too old, cure is not sure, but the frequency and other troubles cn be mnged through psychotherapeutical techniques
Also with the help of family and friends.
Wishing good future
