Treatment generally includes a combination of psychotherapy and medication. People who experience brief psychotic disorder typically do not experience recurring episodes once the triggers have been addressed. However, those with a mental health disorder that includes psychosis as a symptom will need to manage their health long-term with medication, self-care, and therapy.
