#3 Schizophrenia is long-term and usually lasts throughout life.

Psychosis can be short-term. Other times, it can last for days or even weeks depending on what caused the outbreak.

In schizophrenia, these are typically chronic. Thinking these things for a second in psychosis or just once.

5. Schizophrenia may alter the pattern of thinking over a course of time.
