Conclusion

As explained, schizophrenia is very disabling. But as research progresses treatment is slowly but surely becoming more and more effective. Fewer patients have to be kept in hospitals and damage to the brain is not as severe. Scientists discovered the effects of oestrogen, and learned it could be used as a medicine (though long term medications using oestrogen have side effects). They discovered age and gender differences, and learned that there were structural changes even at a cellular level.

In conclusion, though schizophrenia is disabling and sometimes even deadly, modern science has made many medical breakthroughs, and perhaps, if it is even possible, scientists may discover a complete or partial cure.
