Untreated schizophrenics are spared the brain damage which results from antipsychotic medications. Some may continue to be psychotic, but others may develop sufficient insight to manage or overcome their mental disturbance. Those that receive appropriate support and understanding, preferably away from their family situations, have the best chance of a favourable outcome.
Depersonalization disorder is present in Schizophrenics in most cases, But Schizophrenics tend to develop Psychosis which disables them completely from reality, thus Schizophrenics are not aware nor can tell the difference between the internal and external world. Whereas individuals with Depersonalization disorder temporarly have fragmentation of reality.

Yes, schizophrenics can become dangerous if the do not take there medications. The voices and hallucinations may become much more dominant. The patient could become violent.

Soon after words, he decided to hit a woman with his car.(Yes, then he was fired) I'm not saying all schizophrenics may be violent. No. That's not the point at all. Schizophrenics on medication are just fine. I have a schizo. Friend. She has her moments here and there, but she's a great person! If schizophrenics are off med's though, they could have the tendencies to become violent.

a form of dementia may set in as we grow older, this does not affect every one, however, this type of dementia could develop into Alzheimer disease which of course will cause the withdrawal from everyday life.
