A member asked:

How much psychosis can a schizophrenic person go through?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No limit: I am not sure what you mean by this question. Persons who suffer from schizophrenia may suffer from chronic, ongoing delusons or may suffer from periods of exacerbation of their illness. There is no limit to the number of episodes of decompensation in a person's lifetime. Many persons may suffer from waxing and waning illness with variable impairment in level of functioning.
