Mine can last days and even weeks
Before medication, usually days until one episode finally made me snap and go to the hospital.
On medication, they usually last for a few hours or a day. Then im fine again. They are also far and inbetween.

Anything that disturbs you from daily living counts.
I think it counts. If it messes with your thought process ir peace.

Mine was ongoing until I was pulled out of it by Seroquel. It was less of an episode, and more like I was constantly straddling the line between reality and delusion.
What works for me is closing my eyes taking deep breaths, also reading for some reason helps. But I too am in a journey to cope with a distorted thought process.
Psychotic episode Imo includes disorganized thinking and speech, its more like your thinking pattern shifts into distortion and you “can” differentiate between reality and delusions but the judgment is clearly off.

My psychotic episodes last from a month to years. I think at this point off meds I am just continuously psychotic.

Do you mean symptomatic or full blown psychosis? That would be insane
