As per international guidelines first episode of Schizophrenia should be treated for at least 2 years and if symptoms recur it should be treated for at least 5 years and if still symptoms recur after stopping treatment then it requires lifelong treatment. Side effects can be managed with careful medication selection and their doses as per person's tolerance and effects.
