Q

what evidence may suggest that psychotic symptoms are better explained by a psychotic disorder rather than a substance or medication (i.e for criterion C of substance/medication induced psychotic disorder)

A

the symptoms PRECEDED the onset of the sub/med use

the symptoms persist for a substantial period of time i.e ABOUT ONE MONTH AFTER the cessation of acute withdrawal or severe intoxication

there is other evidence of an independent non sub/med induced psychotic disorder i.e hx recurring nonsub/med induced episodes
