Hello rhett-david,
Schizophrenia is treated with a daily medication routine and therapy.
Not everyone whose mother or father has or had SZ will develop this illness.
Like Carolyn said, if you start hearing voices or having other symptoms, get help right away. The quicker someone with SZ gets into treatment, the better the outcome.
People can recover from schizophrenia if they take their meds and get involved in positive social activities.
Regards,
Christina
