Psychotic Disorders: Current Concepts and Therapeutics

Each month The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation hosts a Meet the Scientist Webinar featuring a researcher discussing the latest findings related to mental illness. In February, 2018, the Foundation featured Dr. William T. Carpenter, Jr. of the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
Description: Our traditional ways of diagnosing and classifying brain and behavior disorders do not fully capture their complexities. There are many differences among people who receive the same diagnosis and most symptoms found in a disorder such as schizophrenia are also found in other disorders. Dr. Carpenter, a leading researcher, world authority on schizophrenia, and chair of the Psychosis Work Group for DSM-5 will explain how a "disease" differs from a "clinical syndrome." He will discuss how the parsing of the category "schizophrenia" in terms of its clinical manifestations is key to advancing understanding of causes and the discovery of new therapies.

I had a psychosis caused by cannabis and then took antipsychotics that made me numb, but I could stop them but I wonder when my sensations and feelings will come back? can someone help me?

Sounds like substance induced psychosis which resolves if you stay away from the substance that caused it. Don't smoke weed/shatter/wax or edibles.
