Depends: I am sorry you have been going through all this. It is hard for us to judge what your diagnoses are because we don't know your history or medications. The best is to discuss with your prescribing doc. The good news is that antipsychotic medications can significantly improve quality of life for many. It is important to get all required lab tests done to monitor side effects. I wish you well!

Psychosis is not: Necessary scizophrenia, it can be other condition. Schizophrenia is diagnoses of exclusion. Discuss with u provider.
