I believe that it's the "best possible under the circumstances". Anti-psychotic meds are no fun for someone with a desk job, required to focus, figure new things out on daily basis. It's harder with schizophrenia (larger doses or stronger meds, I guess?) but I've seen both managed up to "normal" by which I mean: no mood swings, being a member of, and taking care of a family, going to the gym or running often, and still present motivation, drive and creativity. It took a few doctor changes for most of them, though, until they found a professional who prescribed some "hitting the spot" treatment and wasn't brainessly testing one drug after another at over-kill doses numbing the ability to think about daily shopping list. EDIT: one thing I forgot to mention: every single person diagnosed with above and having a good life accepted that they cannot touch alcohol, weed and few other things ever again. On the other hand - there are high levels of alcohol abuse present in all the problematic cases.
