will it tries to address our problem…
will supplement comes with it improve version to address this problem
will therapy like deep brain stimulation come in to play…
u r version iz required…
I think that there will be major breakthroughs in the science of stem cell research that will allow parts of a damaged brain to regrow to become normal for the first time in the individual who is suffering from a malformed one. There are similarities in Parkinson’s disease and also in MS (multiple sclerosis) to schizophrenia that may aid in the development in a cure for us as well.

I still think meds and therapy will both improve…
As much as good meds are required… it would be great to be able to stop the meds sometime in life and have supplements and therapy be able to take over…
But for now… I’d love to see meds develop that don’t have as many hard side effects on the body.

I would like them to find the cause and eradicate it by it’s root. Not by pills after pills. But I don’t believe that the problem is focused only on a particular thing. I think environmental factors, the structure of the child\person since birth and life events have much to do with it. And for myself if I could eradicate psychological fear altogether it would be great. Not the fear of the snake. But the stupid society fears.
I think I am not that much of a science guy on this matter.

I don’t know what to expect, but I know what I want: to have meds that I will allow me to do cardio.

The causeS are too many and too complex. I think – based on current research into epigenetics in general (see Epigenetics - Wikipedia) and the epigentics of sz in particular – that we will see interventions into the methylation and/or de-methylation of specific segments of DNA in trial in five to ten years, and on the pharmacists shelf in ten to fifteen… maybe less.
But even these very sophisticated and tightly targeted meds will likely have to be adjuncts to the dopamine-blocking meds used now.
I hate to blow holes through the hope of the True Believer in Magic Bullets, but with sz, that hope seems unreasonable given what the considerable amount now known about the extremely complex combinations of circumstances that come together in so many different ways to produce what we call sz, but which is actually just a collection of cognitive, behavioral and emotional results of an very wide variety of microscopic insults to our brains.
BUT… having said what sounds like doom and gloom, there’s good reason to think that most sz pts can be helped considerably, IF they are willing to do what is required right now, and more and more will be helped over time.

I just saying that maybe science may not be the only way, it might complement and help in prevent and recover fully. But that’s an optimistic and cheerful wishful thought.
Because I am not versed in medical and scientific terms I can’t say much about the subject and, specially because I’m not a native english speaker I have trouble with some technical terms that might be better understood by someone that is native to the tongue. And sometimes my brain acts a bit lazy on some subjects.
Well antisense mRNA therapy is going to be a cure in the distant future. I was lectured about this by an esteemed neuroscience prof. The problem is that all of the R&D is going to HIV and cancer. We’re at the bottom of the list of who gets it.
Not enough of us winning Nobel prizes and genius grants and getting doctorates, I guess. But if we all did they wouldn’t think we even need a cure.
Funny how that works, isn’t it?

Given the nature of schizophrenia’s symptoms, it’s funny that some thing that may cure it is called ‘antisense’.
that means sz couldn’t be treated or cured …???
