Psychotic symptoms can result from multiple causes:. Before the best treatment for a psychotic disorder can be provided, an accurate diagnosis must be assigned. If the diagnostic picture is uncertain, the patient should be observed further, or another clinician should be consulted.
If a patient presents at an ER with psychotic symptoms of unclear etiology, they can generally be stabilized on an antipsychotic and a benzodiazepine, whether the symptoms are the result of a psychotic disorder, or substance abuse. While an accurate diagnosis is critical for effective treatment of psychosis, individual symptoms can often be treated, and this may serve to stabilize the patient, facilitating communication, and clarifying diagnosis.
Longer-term treatment will rely on finalizing the diagnosis. What may initially appear to be comorbid conditions may actually be one of the differential diagnosis listed above See Differential Diagnosis.
The DSM-5 notes that substance abuse disorders are also common comorbid conditions associated with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, American Psychiatric Association, as people will attempt to self-medicate symptoms with substances.
Depression and increased risk of suicidality are also important to consider. Pina-Camacho, Garcia-Prieto, Parellada, Castro-Fornieles, Gonzalez-Pinto, Bombin, and Graell, et al, noted that when psychotic symptoms were accompanied by neuropsychological factors such as motor incoordination, impaired attention, and impaired overall cognitive performance, this was predictive of a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Cannabis use may be a prognostic factor for poorer outcome. It has been found that cannabis use is predictive of earlier onset of psychosis, and causal of psychosis in some individuals Large, Sharma, Compton, Slade, and Nielssen, However, the nature of causality is complex, in that persons with a genetic predisposition to psychosis may hasten the onset of a psychotic episode through use of cannabis, but this would not occur in the absence of said genetic predisposition.

Hmm, I'll take a look at it. Originally Posted by Vladd.

In any case, we have reset him somewhere around times and only ever got 2 different adds out of 3 - Viran and Cobalt, it did look like Dregos cannot spawn at all. Also "Conqueror: Realm of Twisted Dreams" doesn't work.
