Sleep disorders can apparently lead to psychotic symptoms. And the orthomolecular psychiatry guys have shown that mineral therapies with things like zinc and manganese can erase psychosis. Microwave radiation, now pervasive, can also have neuro-psych effects.
As someone said, "thinking is as biologic as digestion".
God help someone in such a state who is run thru the MH maze by a bunch of people wielding these extravagant almost delusional narratives and concepts. Shudder...

there's no definitive answer as to what causes psychosis. yes certain things alleviate symptoms for some individuals, such as diet changes. as far as me, I've done diet eliminations and have also had other things ruled out via MRIs and cat scans.
it's important to keep in mind these are THEORIES much like everything else in this world. you don't have to subscribe to anything bud fox. no one is forcing you to do anything
I understand you are bitter about psychotherapy. but I don't find your attempts to project your bitterness onto those of us who find psychotherapy helpful.
to each their own though!
