Yes, if it is gradual, it is not usually treated early. More time for the disease to destroy the brain.
If it happens in a wild burst, then you get treatment early. Treatment should be started as early as possible.

That makes me hella worried about my prognosis. I am dx sza. My positives are all gone with the injection I take but my negatives are pretty bad.
Also, if you were doing very well before onset, like making As in college, or working in a good position, the outcomes are better according to research.
My situation is not that bad now, I have recovered from the positives, reduced weight in the last 6 months, work and exercise daily.
But, attention/focus issues, memory issues, processing issuesâŚall these things are very much at their peak.

Do you have cognitive symptoms?
Yea I am thankful that at least I donât have any positive symptoms on meds. I guess its worse with them on top of the negatives and cognitive symptoms.
Yes I am having memory issues and trouble processing directions and things like that.
Yes, but Risperidone is not enabling you to take charge of your life.
Did you try Vraylar?

My first pdoc who first diagnosed me with psychosis told me psychosis often causes memory and concentration issues.

I donât have a pdoc since Jan 2021. I requested one and I passed a phone interview to assess if my symptoms require a pdoc. They seem to only care about positive symptoms. They said they will call me back for a pdoc apt if I am accepted, its been weeks no call yet.

Well, you could either:
a) pay a doctor
b) pretend to have positives. When you get the doctor, you tell him the real issues you are having.
