If psychiatric drugs shouldn't be used, what is the suggested treatment for someone with schizophrenia, or a similarly disabling mental illness?

The reason I'm asking is that last week a girl in Sydney murdered her father & sister, and tried to murder her mother. The reports say she was recommended by a psychiatrist to have medication but the family wouldn't allow it due to their Scientology beliefs.

They don't believe schizophrenia or mental illness of any kind EXISTS.
And no, I'm not kidding.
Scientology has taken a very hostile stance towards psychiatry & psychiatric drugs irrespective of the fact that some people require medication to remain adequately functional during everyday life. They don’t recognize legitimate conditions like autism, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc, and the “church” has been known to withhold prescription pharmaceuticals from members (often with harmful & deadly results). Suspiciously, it was discovered upon Hubbard’s death that the anti-anxiety drug hydroxyzine (Vistaril™) was present in his body, which several of his assistants would later attest was only one of many psychiatric & pain medications Hubbard ingested over the years. It had also been said by many who knew Hubbard personally that at the end of his life he was “a psychopathic insane person screaming about BT's [Body Thetans]….”

They dont believe it exists, they thinks it because you have aliens living in your body that you need to take classes and use these weird ritual things to cleanse yourselves of them
Only then can you be a level 9.
