Are there any drugless treatments for schizophrenia that have at least some success?
MvL1234
A good coping strategy for sufferers of schizophrenia is cut out television,newspapers,radio and replace them with music,reading and keeping your mind busy doing something creative maybe or take up new interests to keep your mind focused on something other than what you are hearing,play soft music through earphones whilst doing so to block out any outside noise which often triggers paranoia.Lavender oil burnt in a oil-burner helps to relax so invest in one of these.
Try enteric coated fish oil capsules.
You should also see a Jungian Analytical Psychologist. They do a lot of work with people, without the use of drugs; and they have a great deal of success.

Can you get schizophrenia without a relative with schizophrenia?
No. Scientists have long known that schizophrenia runs in families. The illness occurs in 1 percent of the general population, but it occurs in 10 percent of people who have a first-degree relative with the disorder, such as a parent, brother, or sister. People who have second-degree relatives (aunts, uncles, grandparents, or cousins) with the disease also develop schizophrenia more often than the general population. The risk is highest for an identical twin of a person with schizophrenia. He or she has a 40 to 65 percent chance of developing the disorder.
How likely is schizophrenia hereditary?
Schizophrenia is partly genetic- one out of ten people who have at least one schizophrenic relative also have schizophrenia (compared to one out of one hundred people in general). About one out of two people whose identical twins have schizophrenia also have schizophrenia. However, schizophrenia is not completely genetic. If schizophrenia was completely genetic, everyone who had an identical twin with schizophrenia would also have schizophrenia. This is not the case. Like I said before, about 50% of people whose identical twins have schizophrenia also have schizophrenia. There are environmental as well as genetic factors to schizophrenia.
