The right answer is False.

Although antidepressants gradually act over a period of 8 days to 3 weeks, they are indicated for the management of depression (and not psychotic symptoms).

Psychosis is a serious mental illness that causes severe disorders such as loss of contact with reality, delusional puffs (sudden delirium) or irrational ideas (absurd, unreasonable thoughts).

Depression is an illness that is characterized by great sadness, hopelessness or loss of motivation.

The treatment of depression and psychotic symptoms are not the same.
