From a document describing the side effects of antipsychotics
" [the patient] viene ospedalizzata, a causa di una grave riacutizzazione psicotica con una diagnosi di schizofrenia disorganizzata, disturbo ossessivo-compulsivo, moderato ritardo mentale, epilessia generalizzata e incontinenza fecale"
Psychotic break - too American?
Any ENUK translators come across this term?

Joseph Tein
: "flare-up" almost but not quite captures the idea of a return of the symptoms.

an acute psychotic episode
That's what it's called in the psych literature.
Some examples:
After an acute psychotic episode has subsided, antipsychotic drug maintenance treatment is typically employed and psychosocial therapy and living and vocational skills training may be attempted.
The length of time that someone will experience a psychotic state of mind, known as a psychotic episode, will depend on the underlying causes.

: this doesn't convey the fact that it is a recurring problem/well that's what a relapse is :-)

Hmmm...point taken. How about "a recurrent psychotic episode" to make it clear that it wasn't the first episode the patient experienced?

Something went wrong...
