Unknown: Truly curing schizophrenia will require not just a drug, but whole communities and family supports. In many cases it will require a whole social re-education process once someone is no longer psychotic, to learn to live and interact with others. The medications we have now manage symptoms only, and do not actually "cure." hopefully this can improve with focused research and creative therapies.

Schizophrenia: Good input from Dr. Pappas. Currently there is not a cure for Schizophrenia. However, there are excellent new medications to treat it. I don't know if there will ever be a cure - but I certainly hope so.
