A member asked:
I outgrew schizophrenia and don't have it anymore, does this mean i can enjoy a normal life now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
?: Schizophrenia is a chronic illness and variably progressive. Symptoms may fluctuate and treatment may eliminate many of the symptoms and slow progression. If you have no hallucinations, disorganized thought process, or paranoia without medication it is possible you were misdiagnosed. Many other possibilities. See a psychiatrist.
