I found some statistics that might be helpful

In the long term:
For every 5 people who develop schizophrenia:

1 in 5 will get better within five years of their first episode of schizophrenia.
3 in 5 will get better, but will still have some symptoms. They will have times when their symptoms get worse.
1 in 5 will continue to have troublesome symptoms.

So chances are that it can be controlled and managed, but may not "go away".

I hopes you feel better, bear. You can get the condition under control, it wont always be this bad xx
