Wikipedia Entry - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia

Is it lots of different things labelled as the same thing? Is it aspects of many different things? Is it primarily physiological/biologic, or part biologic, psychological & social? Is it wholly or in part spiritual? Is full recovery & healing possible? or is it incurable? Are the people that recover dealing with different conditions to those who don't? Is prognosis dependant on how it's treated, or doesn't that matter?

Is what is happening in each case of what gets labelled as 'schizophrenia/psychosis' as individual as the people that experience it?
