Medications will help you.

A tragedy can be treated. Medication is necessary long-term. Psychotherapy with a psychiatrist who likes you to share your experiences and help you help yourself to regain a capacity to love and separate from parents.

Schizophrenia is a chronic condition which can be treated with medications. We now have very effective medications which can be prescribed by psychiatrists. In addition to medications, one also has to observe healthy habits such as proper diet, good sleeping patterns, exercise, involvement in meaningful activities, etc.

There is no guarantee, but schizophrenia can be managed well with medication.

most likely yes, I advise you to get on medication and we have lots of newer and effective medication at presence her/his schizophrenia can get remission

First, I would recommend a 2nd opinion. Schizophrenia is often mis-diagnosed. You might have another mental condition. And no, there is absolutely NO guarantee, that taking medication will cause your condition to be manageable. This is a serious illness, if correctly diagnosed, with serious potential problems long term.

medication is helpful---and social support is key.

30% have complete remission within 6-12 months

Thank you for your question.
Sure! It is medical disorder caused by Bio-psycho social stressors.
Your symptoms can be controlled with medications /and you will not be as pre occupied this.

Schizophrenia is treatable ( not curable). Patients who take medications feel stable and functioning well. See psychiatrist and get the illness under control!

There are no guarantees. Once you find the right medication, you can manage some of your symptoms, therapy may help you manage the rest. Best of luck to you.

There are various types of schizophrenia and each respond differently to medications. Generally, the course of the illness waxes and wanes but it's important to adhere to the medication plan and to follow up regularly with the treating team.

Yes, make sure to take medications as directed and follow up with your provider on a regular basis.

I’m afraid there are no guarantees in life. Treatments have advanced over the years with improved outcomes and broadly speaking are more tolerable. Most likely Schizophrenia is clinical result of multiple different causes. This is why treatments have variable effectiveness. The important thing to do is find a good psychiatrist and start the process of looking for the best medication for you. There is no way to control Schizophrenia without medication. Studies show the sooner treatment starts the better the outcome and the lower the amount of medication required. Noncompliance with medication worsens the outcome. You should also optimize treatment by living a clean lifestyle to protect your brain: no illicit drugs and caution with prescription drugs, low stress environment, exercise really makes everything in our body work better, good sleep, healthy nutrition, no alcohol or MARIJUANA-it worsens psychosis, appropriate animals/pets can be very helpful reducing stress. Be clear: none of these things substitutes for medication and no alternative herbs will either, they can do a great deal of harm. Discuss any such “supplements “ with your doctor. Talk Therapy can help too.
Let me reassure you, many of my patients have good outcomes but this is a lifelong illness. The key is to develop a good working relationship with your doctor and communicate clearly. Journaling symptoms and side effects can help direct your treatment and community mental health support groups are really wonderful resources. I wish you the best.
NIH, National Institute of Health and American Psychiatric Association are some good resources.

There are no guarantees in life for anything, but I am happy to report that there are excellent chances, such as in this case. Most people who take their medication for schizophrenia have their symptoms controlled. The key is to keep taking the medication even when your symptoms go away. A lot of people mistakenly believe that because their symptoms go away, then they don't need the medicine anymore, sort of like an antibiotic. But the medication doesn't cure the schizophrenia, it only controls the symptoms, and if you stop the medicine, then the symptoms come back. The biggest problem with schizophrenia medication is usually managing the side effects. It is especially important not to gain more than a few pounds, and to have your doctor monitor you for diabetes and cholesterol problems. The second issue (much more rare these days) to come up is restlessness or motor tics/twitches/stereotyped movements/cramping. The other super-important aspect of managing schizophrenia is to stay completely away from street drugs and alcohol. Other people can recreate with these substances and have no problems, but people with schizophrenia are extremely vulnerable to getting de-railed by these substances. The healthier the lifestyle you lead (good kinds of food, good amounts of exercise, plenty of deep, restful sleep, and staying hydrated), the less trouble your schizophrenia will cause in your life.
