I havent used drugs or cigarettes for almost 8 months, but my psychosis is still active. antipsychotics havent helped, can psychosis be permanent?

Psychosis: Yes, in certain illnesses psychosis persists. It would be good if you would consult with a Psychiatrist to find out if another medication could help you. You can see a Clinical Psychologist to help you cope with stressors that could be making your psychosis worse.
