[|Human|] Hello my wife is affected with schizophrenia during her MBBS studies second year onwards, after which she is getting treated with tablets. is there any possibility of treating this diesease without tablets.
[|AI|]  Hi Mr Ramakrishna, May I add, evidence suggests that the outcomes in schizophrenia or for that matter any chronic psychosis are entirely dependent on Duration of Untreated Psychosis (DUP).  What it means in simple terms is, the longer you delay the treatment, the more negative are the outcome. Till date, all the research that has been done in Allopatry has been in the form of medicines, when they talk of "Treatment" in research on "DUP" Various other therapies help but unless you are in a country with well established support and monitoring health care system, with good formally trained talking therapists using evidence based psychological therapies, PLEASE DO NOT STOP MEDICATION. There is a lot of research which says medication AND other therapies WORK THE BEST. With such a bright future ahead, please do not take chances. Wishing you both good luck
