What would happen if a person became psychotic not due to genes but too much trauma? Would his psychosis or schizophrenia disappear with the help of meds? Or is the damage permanent causing psychosis for life?

I’m trying to figure this one out as well. Mine was caused by a year long psychosis. Prior to that I was smoking weed and getting very paranoid about various things and having insecurities with my identity which led me to hallucinate. I wonder if it was because of my paranoia from weed that brought it on or trauma from the mental stress I had from things going on in my personal life.
My therapist said that if the circumstances that caused psychosis are treated then it’s possible to not have psychosis again. Which I’m skeptical of

I think the science so far is that we have genes which can make us prone. Stress can turn that online and we end up sz. So regardless of if it’s drug use or trauma - at the end it’s genetic makeup that induces it (stress of any kind being the cause)

I’ve been trying to figure this out too lately. Have had two episodes a decade apart … and I always wondered if it was trauma. Also it only happened under stress
