Yes, improvement is possible even after 17 years of schizophrenia. It may not always be completely curable, but symptoms can often be significantly controlled with the right treatment.
See a psychiatrist for a full reassessment. Treatment may include antipsychotic medication, psychological therapy and rehabilitation. If symptoms persist despite adequate treatment, options such as clozapine may be considered.
Do not stop medication suddenly. Seek urgent help if there is suicidal behaviour, severe aggression, or risk of harm.

Schizophrenia is a treatable long-term illness, but after 17 years it cannot be judged or cured without a detailed psychiatric review. Regular medication, follow-up and family support can control symptoms and prevent relapses; never stop medicines suddenly. Please consult a psychiatrist for a treatment review, especially if there are hallucinations, aggression or self-harm thoughts. You may book a Practo consult for guidance.
