Hi, anyone experienced post psychotic depression? When does it get better?

I go back into depression after I’ve been manic. Psychosis does not appear to have an effect either way.

There is no way to know.

I’m also suffering from a post psychotic depression so far it has went on for almost 1,5 years. I really want to know when it gets better. I wish I could give you an answer.

My post psychotic depression lasted about 8 months. I returned to college within a year, which in hindsight was too soon. But, the more you reintegrate yourself with school or work, the less prevalent your depression will become.

Mine lasted about 8 years.

Mine seems to be lasting almost two years.

depression is acknowledged by most doctors to be part of schizophrenia
antidepressants put me in a position where i can enjoy life

The depression lasts until you find the right ad.
