My partner is currently in hospital and has been there for over 2 weeks since having a psychotic episode (after reducing then ceasing his medication for 2 days). Even though he's back on his previous medication along with a new one, he's still delusional and over emotional. I read that a relapse reflects a period of disease progression and patients may not return to their previous level of function. Is this correct? I also read that the medication he's been on long-term is used for treatment-resistant schizophrenia. He had told me he'd been given other treatments in the past and they didn't work. I feel that he has a poor clinical prognosis, though I hope I'm wrong. I've been with him for less than two years and until now had not known he had schizophrenia. He had told me he was bipolar.
