Although there is no cure for Schizophrenia, and to a certain extent you will most likely always suffer from it to a degree, I do believe that most people can find the right combination of treatments - sometimes including ECT if nothing else works - to get them well enough to be able to function in the world, and have a mostly happy, productive life. Sadly a lot of people don't get the help they need. And a lot of people do not comply with their treatment, those are the things which make schizophrenia so hard to treat. It can sometimes take a long time to get you to a place where you're stable and can get on with your life most of the time, but be patient and stick with it. It will be worth it in the end.
