In the schizophrenia forum where this thread was brought about by, does and as i have been told, scizophrenia is not curable only manageable (what the other thread objects to) would that ring true during integration, that the whole develops the psychosis or would it be able to be resolved before or with integration, as i have been told with integration the whole inherits the traits of the part, would psychosis not be one of those traits inherited?

Schizophrenia/psychosis (what ever you want to call it) is an extreme reaction to distress so if you can get rid of most of the distress, the psychotic symptoms will lessen. Your treatment for DID will involve a great deal of healing which may lead to full integration which could lead to the lessening of psychotic experiences. You'll also find that you will learn better ways of coping with stress so you are less likely to become distressed. It may be that you will have a tendency towards psychotic symptoms but you'll be able to manage it better.

You know, I could write a lot of maybe's, possible's, could's and should's but remember everyone is different and your system is different to mine or to other peoples. You are you, not a bunch of labels.
