In tribal socieities, psychosis is treated by shamans. The shaman is one who has mastered their psychosis, and the person with psychosis who they are treating will likely go on to be the next shaman. Western society does not allow for such people to have a role in society, because Western society is based on materialism, and materialism, due to rejecting the existence of spiritual reality, is out of touch with reality. So a spiritual issue is treated as a "chemical imbalance" and "treated" by psychiatrists through the use of psychiatric drugs, specifically anti-psychotics, which are destructive to the mental and spiritual and physical and emotional and social well-being of the person who takes them. Unlike the shaman, the psychiatrist has not been through psychosis, and so has no direct understanding of it. Thus, they grossly misrepresent it and treat it in ways which make little sense regarding the reality of what is taking place. And society, having had the sheet of ignorance placed over them, believe the lies of the field of psychiatry that psychiatry can treat psychosis and is the only way to treat psychosis. So people with psychosis are subjected to widespread institutionalised abuse at the hand of psychiatrists, and their prognosis is not good. One day society may begin to help people with psychosis, but under the materialistic regime of the West, this does not appear likely.
