Yes, some versions of schizoprhrenia respond well to control via medication; other versions will respond partially to the point the patient can control his/her reaction to the remaining symptoms of the schizophrenia. However, medication does not cure schizophrenia - it is a life-long condition that will need life-long medication and counselling to control. The good news is, for a solid majority of patients, focused dedication on living a relatively normal life coupled with strict adherence to the medication protocol and regular counselling/therapy sessions with a good psychologist can result in a fairly normal life.
