Does schizophrenia get worse when one is in his fifties? Can anything be done to stop the decline?

Answer 1

I've heard it can get better with age, I've heard it can get worse, I've also heard it can stay the same. So there is no definitive answer to your question, I'm sorry. It all depends on the person.

I'm dealing with schizophrenia (for 3 years) and there's no sign of relief, up until I started taking lithium a few weeks ago.
