Other than transient drug-induced psychoses, people don't snap into psychosis, they slide. And they can slide in-and-out, back-and-forth.

How long can a psychotic break last?
Brief psychotic episode

Can a psychotic break be cured?
Is There a Cure for Psychosis? There is no cure for psychosis, but there are many treatment options. In some cases where medication is to blame, ceasing the medication can stop the psychosis. In other instances, receiving treatment for an underlying condition may treat psychosis.
