As far as I know Schizptpal is a subtype of schizophrienia, and is very treatable if it is acute or reactive, meaning the symptoms came on rather suddenly in reaction to life stress.
And I believe there are a lot of myths and misinform about personality disorders. It isn't something you do or not do, it is something you have and usually will always have it, but the symptoms can be greatly reduced with some medicines. But it isn't like you wake up one day and say I am not going to be such and such, it isn't a tempory state. But I think it is like astma, when you have it, you always have it, it might be in remission, but it is still there. At least until they can cure it. My book is published 2005, so it is rather current. But then again, this stuff is changing so fast, my book probably is already outdated.
