Schizophrenia is a life time disorder. Most people have hallucinations and/ or delusions. They may show paranoid behavior. About 10% will commit suicide.
Many will suffer severe depression. They may attempt to self medicate with alcohol or other non-prescribed drugs. They may be hospitalized without their consent for a long time.
It will only get worse over time without medication and therapy, but it can be "tamed".
