Can schizophrenia be controlled?
It can be a really scary time for someone, and for their loved ones when they find out they have a Schizophrenia diagnosis. The great news is that with medication and therapy combined, it is absolutely controllable. The extent to which it is manageable has something to do with the patients willingness to obtain and comply with treatment from both psychiatrist and therapist. It is important for patients not to stop taking medications or to start using alcohol or other illicit or non-prescribed drugs. Also, it is helpful having people in their support system who they can trust to reality check with if they are having any persistent symptoms. The most common can be auditory and visual hallucinations (hearing and seeing things others dont sometimes human voices talking to them in derogatory ways or in severe episodes commanding them to do things) and delusions (thinking things are happening that are not). It is a complex subject, difficult to give a definitive answer but in my experience, I have seen much success from patients who work to control their Schizophrenia. READ MORE
