ECT treatment for schizophrenia does not reverse the illness. It is used for acute treatment of positive symptoms. After remission of symptoms you need to maintain the improvement with medications only. You need to take medication for a long time even lifetime. Newer medications have come which improve the functionality so that most of the symptoms are under control in majority of people. Good luck
