Third

Hi

Apparently, about a third of those who experience a schizophrenic episode will never experience another one in their lifetimes. Another third will have episodes from time to time, but will exhibit no symptoms in between. It's only the last third that requires continuing medical treatment, which has improved in leaps and bounds over the years.

--- Does it say that 1/3 who experience a schizophrenic episode will never experience another one again? And 1/3 have such episodes from time to time, and also 1/3 is seriosuly ill, but the situation is improving quickly. I understand that fewer and fewer people have been afflicted with this illness over the last years?
