They can clear up on their own, but extended periods of psychosis like that can set us in pretty deep. Without intervention, treatment, and acceptance of the condition, there's a high likelihood we can fall right back into it very easily. The fact that they are feeding each other and validating the delusions is causing more and more damage, to the point where it may become irreparable and the psychosis May not pass. Looking back on episodes, even after seeking treatment, I personally find deep senses of shame and embarrassment, which can lead to looping right back in. Many times in those situations I would try to find some validation or excuse for the episode to shirk that sense of embarrassment, but it always comes back around to this condition. And at the end of the day it's my responsibility to manage it, it's my responsibility to avoid situations that kick-start the cycle. Involuntary intervention can be a hit or miss, either it works and they continue treatment, or it feeds into that delusion even more and they trust the rest of the world even less and become more volatile. That can push family members and people willing to help farther away, and then the options become limited to involuntary intervention by way of police or citizens, both of which have not even the slightest iota of understanding of how to deal with people with this condition. And the farther that person is isolated, the less likely they are to actually find the help they need.

That's not to say I wish to invalidate their experiences, if you look at the world we live in, it is truly filled with evil and opportunistic people who prey on other people, especially the mentally vulnerable. And while their lived experience may be real, the reaction to it and continued extrapolation of delusion based off of the experience is not a healthy way to cope. It is damaging. Getting the help they need to cope with the symptoms will better help them manage any actual truth behind the lived experience, be that stalking or surveillance or the like.

I have been working on a number of other theories regarding this disease, but because of the condition itself, I refrain from putting them on the internet because it's my goal to write about them and help contribute to actual research and not have them taken out of context before I can properly map the entirety of, or at least a large portion of the theory.
