They misspelled "medication". There are narrow situations where very skilled psychiatrists have successfully treated schizophrenics using non-pharma (read: traditional) psychotherapy, but they are truly exceptional cases.
Being schizophrenic is not a lack of "deepening your self-understanding" that blocks them from "uncovering the root of " their illness! That is absolutely horse shit and belongs in a new age Homeopathy boutique.
Schizophrenics firmly believe their delusions and paranoia. In fact, one of the worst things you can say to them is "it's all in your head! The voices aren't real!". Commonly, they split the world into allies and suspects, so the moment you try to invalidate them, they add you to the list of agents/spirits/whatever is after them.
This disease requires a psychiatrist and medication, full stop, and is fully orthogonal to child abuse.
