Possible...yes

hey! Even when you look at hardcore psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, there is a percentage of people who: 1) have 1 acute episode and go into remission; 2) experience intense symptoms and then get better, sometimes to the point of remission. So...yes, I think its possible (I used the schizophrenia example b/c there's more data on it). Some psychotic disorders (psychotic depression, for example) seem to have a limited lifespan, though they may re-occur. When you venture out into less studied areas--schizoaffective, Psychotic Disorder NOS, etc.-- there's less data to guide you, but it seems appropriate to compare them to other, better studied psychotic disorders.
