Many cases of schizophrenia can be controlled by medication but I have never seen or heard of any genuine cases of schizophrenia being completely cured by medication alone. Even lobotomy, which was considered the last resort and practiced at the hospital that I worked at appeared to have limited success.
There have been cases of people using social drugs that have triggered off schizophrenia and after kicking the habit the schizophrenia has disappeared but I would not really class them as having a genuine schizophrenia problem.

It is a very complex picture with what comes under mental health, the psychoses & schizophrenia.
i'm diagnosed with schizophrenia, & went through a very severe case of it all.
It seems to be individual in ways concerning etiology & prognosis, & there is still a lot within certain areas to know, But in regards to far more humane & compassionate treatment of people suffering mental health difficulties, i do feel that far far more could be done to help people in kind & practical ways.
