Hmm in my experience with ginkgo I found that it did not help crazy religious feelings and a feeling of paranoid interconnectedness. However I felt this way after I stopped taking prozac, so I don't blame the ginkgo that much. But when I stopped taking it so did my bizzare thoughts. Stopping it left me more anhedonic than ever. Now it doesn't work. It does take at the least 12 weeks to fully kick in. Some say 12-24 weeks. So if you're psychotic I would 1) not try it and 2) not wait that long if I still had psychotic symptoms.
