I’m not going to be able to debate the validity of your experiences of course, and I won’t try to. I can say with confidence however that for most people, psychosis is strongly correlated with poor outcomes including homelessness and suicide. Early intervention and prevention leads to the best outcomes, and the more psychotic events in a persons life, the worse the outcomes are on average.

Of course, this isn't a study, but if you are interested in the beautifully rich world of "altpsy" I just came across this TED Talk. https://www.ted.com/speakers/eleanor_longden https://www.ted.com/speakers/eleanor_longden

Oh I don't disagree. I think the entire culture and system isn't set up for proper integration of psychosis. So given the current landscape, it makes sense that outcomes are so poor. It takes resources of time and emotional capacity to make it through. Dr. Paris Williams has an incredible book called Rethinking Madness that was instrumental in helping me adopt a framework to complete a psychosis.
