As of now, there is no cure for schizophrenia, but with a combination of proper medication, therapy, and group support, sufferers can gain more control over their lives. In this program, two psychiatric experts discuss the illusive nature of this devastating illness, as well as the various treatments available to prevent relapse.

Schizophrenia victims offer personal insights into how they avoid relapse, and how new treatment options, including the new medications, are helping them lead relatively normal lives.
