Let me state that I am not a doctor so the information I provide is just from personal research.

What causes psychosis or delerium that comes and goes hourly and daily?
The very nature of delirium is a fluctuant course: ie. the disorder changes along the same day: worse when the light is less, or there is less stimulation. It maybe characterized by hallucinations especially visual and those maybe frightening in case of delirium tremens (a disorder occurring to those who use alcohol for may years and suddenly stop for any reason. : that maybe why it may be misdiagnosed as a psychosis where the hallucinations occur in clear consciousness. A key feature to distinguish is to test for attention. An easy way to do that is to ask the person to count from 1 to 10 and then backwards. If person is able to do it, then attention is intact. Psychosis is a very broad term. Some scientists especially for researc purposes consider the term to be equal to: having delusions and hallucinations. There are other schools that consider an individual psychotic if their judgment is impaired, have no insight, are not functioning in the absence of a physical disability that may prevent their functioning. Detachment from reality is a term used to encompass a broad range of behaviors and experiences, that include but are not confined to experiencing hallucinations and delusions. Psychosis maybe organic: ie. caused by a tangible, measurable, disorder that can be proved by investigations, eg blood samples, EEGs, CT and MRI, ...etcOr it maybe functional as in schizophrenia or mood disorders. Psychosis may occur over and above a dementing process. Alzheimer's disease (the most commonly diagnosed dementia nowadays) may have superimposed psychosis (and delirium) It is necessary to add that the demracation between functional and organic is becoming hazy. Everything now maybe viewed from a "biological" perspective. Attempts are being made to identify the disorders through measurable and tangible investigations eg. MRS, SPECT, PET.

How long does psychosis last?
It really depends. Some people have "psychotic episodes", short periods of mental illness, and other people can suffer from lifelong mental psychosis. Usually long tern sufferers of psychosis are treated with medication therapy, group therapy, or in extreme cases of psychosis where the patient is unable to operate or function normally in society with the help of medication, admittance into a mental hospital or other state funded facility is recommended for the lifelong treatment of the person suffering from the illness. There are differing degrees of psychosis. Mild degrees of psychosis are treatable, and the patient can resume normal daily life activities such as working a job, carrying on in relationships, and even getting married and having children. Hundreds and thousands of Americans can and do suffer from some degree of mental illness, and are able to operate perfectly fine in society. In some cases, mild to moderate degrees of psychosis are totally treatable and even curable.
