yes, it's pretty ropey all in all - generally speaking people going to live with their families for a while has a higher success rate than anti-psychotic drugs, 60% vs 30%

in the 3rd world people can't afford drugs so tend to go for the family option

doctors in finland have adapted the 3rd world approach successfully and collected a lot of data along the way - incidence of schizophrenia is dropping in their region
