I think you mean schizophrenia. Here are treatments, plain and simple.

Historical (old ways)
- Long stays in asylums (people were kept away from home).
- Physical methods like bloodletting, cold baths, chains and restraints.
- "Shock" and coma treatments (used to try to calm severe cases).
- Lobotomy (a surgery that damaged the brain—often harmful).
- First medicines appeared in the 1950s and helped some symptoms.

Current (now)
- Medicines (antipsychotics): help lower hallucinations and strange thoughts. Some are pills, some are shots given every few weeks. One medicine (clozapine) helps when others do not.
- Talking help: therapy that teaches coping, reality testing, and how to handle stress.
- Family support and education: helps loved ones know how to help.
- Social help: programs that help with housing, work, and daily life skills.
- Hospital care: for crises or when safety is a worry.
- Some brain treatments (used in special cases), for example shock therapy done safely when needed. New brain-focused treatments are being studied.

A few simple notes
- Treatments work differently for each person.
- Combining medicine + talking + social help usually works best.
- Talk to a doctor or mental health worker to find the right plan.
