Whether Schizophrenia is curable or will come again later though taking medicines? Schizophrenia is much like other mental disablities, even if you take your medication and then stop there is always a greater risk that it will happen again, I have a son that is bipolar and every time they change his meds. or take him off of them we go through hell, but as long as he takes his meds. life is just fine. I suppose as sad as it seems I am saying that it is very hard to be completely cured of something like this, it is most likely to be a lifetime situation with taking medications. Here is a website that shows relapse times and alot of other information that may be useful to you. Source(s): http://www.chovil.com/relapse.html... its not cureable it can be controlled by taking medication Schizophrenia is not curable, but manageable through medication and maintenance of the medication plan. My son is bi-polar and has been under a doctor's care for 9 years now. The difference in his life and those around him is a miracle. Stay with good professional help through your doctor, take medications as prescribed and seek out help groups so you have an avenue to discuss this with others that face the same issues. Good Luck and God Bless. The chief treatment measures for schizophrenia include drug therapy, psychotherapy, counseling including social support, and gradual rehabilitation and retraining. For a first illness or acute relapse, hospitalization is usually indicated in order to stabilize the patient's condition. However, hospitalization for more than a few months may be inadvisable; if the patient is able to function outside of an institution, leading some semblance of a normal life may actually be therapeutic. The drugs usually prescribed are antipsychotic medications. When patients refuse to continue oral doses of antipsychotic drugs, long-acting injections are often preferable to reduce the risk of relapse. Patients who display remission of symptoms should be given a "drug holiday" at intervals to test functioning without drugs, but careful observation and monitoring of symptoms should continue. Antidepressants may be substituted in some cases. The cornerstone of most treatment programs is psychotherapy. Occupational therapy and gradual scvial involvement should also be arranged, as should a structured rehabillitation program. Careful control of environmental pressures is important. Both overstimulation and understimulation should be avoided. It should be remembered that schizophrenia is not necessarily a chronic disorder. About 30 percent of patients recover completely and most of the remaining ones show marked improvement, although impaired emootional response and lowered drive usually persist. With treatment, even active cases can be controlled within four to eight weeks. No specific preventive measures are known at this time. I looked up this information for you. Please, take care and good luck. THE NEW ILLUSTRATED FAMILY MEDICAL & HEALTH GUUIDE JOSEPH BATTAGLIA, MD: Progress is really hard to make on the short-term basis. The issue about outcome is that within 25 or 30 years, 50% to 60% do not return to normal, but can be functioning with part-time jobs and an increased social network. |
