“Can you treat schizophrenia?”
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Can you treat schizophrenia?

No, unfortunately, I do not treat individuals with this diagnosis, but it is treatable with therapy and medication, but there is NO cure.
I think what you may be asking here is can you "cure" schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a lifelong condition and while some positive change is possible, the change will be incremental over a long period of time (i.e., years not weeks or months). In other words, it cannot be "cured."
Schizophrenia can be treated with a combination of psychoactive medication and behavioral interventions and skills training. Medication helps to manage symptoms that may include auditory and/or visual hallucinations. Behavioral interventions and skills training can help individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia function better in social, vocational, and interpersonal environments.
