Studies have shown that people who experience a psychosis typically have symptoms for more than a year before receiving treatment. To reduce the duration of untreated psychosis, it is important to receive effective treatment as early as possible. Medication stabilization is the first key in treating psychosis. Additionally, reality testing therapies are important in assisting individuals as they become medically stabilized. From there, treatment focuses on accepting the disorder, maintaining compliance with medications that relieve symptoms, and re-engaging in social and occupational activities.
