I am suffering from schizophrenia for past 9 years with ongoing medicines still do not have mental peace. What basic precautions should I take to get rid off schizophrenia?

Question

You can't get rid of schizophrenia. You can control the behaviors and learn to live a close to normal life, if you complied with the prescription. I am however concerned that you may not be seeking counseling in parallel with the medication. The medication stabilizes the brain chemicals and helps you function well in life but they do not teach you any skills or coping mechanisms. That can be best achieved with psychotherapy and counseling. It is not too late to start. Through therapy you will learn to adjust to some peculiar impulses, get into a routine of exercises, behaviors, habits and responses to handle stress. These will help you stabilize and support the benefits of medication and help you become more normal for a long period of time.
