Depends on the type of schizophrenia. If it's paranoid schizophrenia then usually taking medication will remove the symptoms. It also depends on the symptoms (positive or negative). Positive symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, hearing voices, can be treated by medication. Negative symptoms (negative = LOSS of normal functions) like lack of speech, low energy, social isolation, lack of emotions, etc can't usually be cured by medication.

There is no cure. There are medications that help with the symptoms, though they have some pretty crumby side effects. A lot of people go off their medication either because of the side effects or because when things become more normal, they think they don't need to be on them anymore.
Its usually genetically predisposition. Its different. So if you are put under an extremely stressful condition it might or might not happen. THere are medications that you can take on a regular basis such as antipsychotics as a cure (not the best). Some people can over come it with the psychological therapy sessions
Have a friend with it and I can tell you it's best if they take the meds. Make absolutely sure they're taking them.
