Respected uncle, there is no cure of schizophrenia as of now. We can only control symptoms or in case complete resolution of symptom on medicine. All other treatment like estrogen hormone therapy are in experimental stage. Currently these therapy has more harm than good so not recommend. Kindly take medicine and your patient will get maximum improvement. There are good medicine available with favourable side effect profile.
