Hi.for people who hear things.does this hallucinations getting worse by time for example after 30 years old.or it is happening at eary age and it does not getting worse.
It can get better especially with proper treatment. Supposedly schizophrenia improves after a certain age, it might be 40 or 50…but I heard voices from 14-20 but haven’t heard them since. But that’s thanks to meds IMO.

My pdoc said “you need 10 mg of prolixin, but when you’re older you may only need 2.5 mg”
I also read in my book surviving schizophrenia, you get better with older age.
