Why does my condition relapse after stopping antipsychotic medication even with Ayurvedic treatment? - #55449

Schizophrenia or psychosis commonly relapses after stopping antipsychotic medicines because the brain chemistry imbalance may still persist even if symptoms improved temporarily. Ayurveda can support sleep, anxiety, stress tolerance and cognition, but severe psychotic disorders usually still need long-term psychiatric follow-up. Do not stop psychiatric medicines suddenly without psychiatrist supervision.
