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.
