Dear Lybrate User, Schizophrenia is not curable. It can be managed with medicines and psychotherapy. Please check with your Psychiatrist and start Counselling/Psychotherapy for her. I understand that, as a mother you are very worried about your daughter and at your age you want someone, who would look after her, for the rest of her life. You need to see, if she would be able to be a good life partner to someone. Marrying her off, would not solve her problems. There are a few institutions which may help you in this situation. Please talk to the Psychiatrist about this. Since the Psychiatrist is treating your daughter for last 20 years, he/she will be able to find a good institution for you which will suit your needs. Take care.
