With DBT I am the best I have ever been but know I will always need support. And the Drs. have tried me off the anti-psychotics but my symptoms return. So for me anyway, it's a mixed bag. I hope this helps you.
Medication for psychosis symptoms makes perfect sense.
I'm really glad there is medication that helps!!
