Untreated Brief Psychotic Disorder? |
I've been researching brief psychotic disorder (also called brief reactive psychosis). I've had it three times. I found with each episode, I recovered faster. If it goes untreated (or if one doesn't take their medications) there is a possibility of a relapse if one succumbs to a trigger or comes under a lot of stress. It is not automatically a precursor to schizophrenia. It can be a disorder all on its own and not necessarily develop into schizophrenia. A person can have one episode and not again. It really depends. I wish you'd get an answer cuz I'm now curious, too. Brief Psychotic Disorder is usually diagnosed in the early stages of Schizophrenia. If Brief Psychotic Disorder lasts longer than 30 days it becomes Schizophreniform Disorder. This disorder can last up to 6 months and after that it usually becomes Schizophrenia. |
