Yes , chances of relapse are very high. Some studies say that after first episode of psychosis, treatment should be continued for at least 2 years. Other studies say lifelong. Having said this , it cannot be predicted if and when the psychosis will recur.
Next Steps
Please see a psychiatrist in person for complete assessment if you fear that you are relapsing. if treated in early stages, its easier to control.
