Do the causes of psychotic symptoms matter?

There needs to be a better understanding of how psychoses and other serious mental illnesses develop. They do not develop in isolation but are connected with subsequent events that impose themselves on the individual. Predispositions, via heredity, starts the process, but it is what happens subsequently in the environment that leads to interactions that are dynamic. Hence knowledge into what causes psychosis is not helpful when treating the condition. An analysis of the remitting symptoms leading to the treatment of the symptoms offers a better chance of remedying the condition. There is a need for as early an intervention as possible, ideally, if possible, avoiding the use of medication and concentrating on the use of CBT or CT.
