The symptoms of schizophrenia would not go away, even if you try to normalize them. They will still be in need of treatment, and the standard treatment is AP - you cannot talk a person out of hearing voices, you have to medicate. I'm lucky, I do not hear voices, but I understand that other people do, that it is human suffering, that a mental health system should be in place to diagnose and treat such people to minimize human suffering as well as, hopefully, harm to others.
So I do not understand what you suggest in regards to schizophrenia.

I didn't respond to those for you just added them to be cool perhaps? And I will tell you about that then. I dated a schizophrenic and I thought his mind, off meds was beautiful. I thought he was connected to other realities we are unaware of. I think, this so called illnesses are misunderstood. However, when it does make you feel crappy and depressed I wouldn't think it's part of who you want to be... But maybe your brain is making you aware of many crappy things that do happen day to day and if we cared at all about what really goes on in the world we would all be depressed. I'm saying that these illnesses are beautiful but if it makes us unhappy then by all means, get help.
