I agree with you Dmachine in part. There is a lot of psychology involved with schizophrenia, but there is more going on than is realized. Changing your way of thinking is helpful as I have found out myself. I am not saying fish oil or vitamins will cure schizophrenia. I never said that. Probably they are useful for mood disorders, but true, they are not always the answer. Medication also helps schizophrenia because it "calms" the hallucinations. Medication has been a big part in my recovery from the standpoint of balancing brain chemistry, but again, it doesn't solve the whole puzzle of schizophrenia. Thanks for being so candid in your post. I like the fact that some people challenge the theory of using supplements to cure mental illness. I do agree with you partially. A lot of money stands to be made by this industry, and over the years I have put less stock in using vitamins, but I still use them to help with mood as I seem to have symptoms of bipolar disorder as well.
