That's rather a strange post..
Schizophrenia can be treated with a range of thinks: medications, therapies (CBT etc), alternative therapies (ie vitamin), "physical" treatment (ECT), group help (ie The Hearing Voices Network) and eventually, people may be able to live happily without intervention like medication and hospitilisation.
Treatment for schizophrenia has advanced so much over the years, people can live full lives (working, families etc) and therapy can be very successful (whether it's medical, nutritional or commincative).
