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.
Effective treatment of psychosis and schizophrenia usually requires consistent medication and a long-term therapeutic relationship with a professional psychotherapist. When a person suffering from mental illness receives proper medication and supervision they are often able to live remarkably successful and satisfying lives.

Yes it can. Ebola lives in the patient until it kills its host. It takes about 1-2 weeks until the process is finshed, then your dead.
You usually cannot diagnose schizophrenia from a simple brain scan. However, long-term damage to the brain from schizophrenia can sometimes be assessed by a MRI scan.
