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.
i had a patient today who has been living on dialyses for the last eight years.
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.
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.
