It really depends. Some people have "psychotic episodes", short periods of mental illness, and other people can suffer from lifelong mental psychosis. Usually long tern sufferers of psychosis are treated with medication therapy, group therapy, or in extreme cases of psychosis where the patient is unable to operate or function normally in society with the help of medication, admittance into a mental hospital or other state funded facility is recommended for the lifelong treatment of the person suffering from the illness. There are differing degrees of psychosis. Mild degrees of psychosis are treatable, and the patient can resume normal daily life activities such as working a job, carrying on in relationships, and even getting married and having children. Hundreds and thousands of Americans can and do suffer from some degree of mental illness, and are able to operate perfectly fine in society. In some cases, mild to moderate degrees of psychosis are totally treatable and even curable.
