Answer:

there can't really be a clear answer and some people never get cured of schizophrenia but if you look at some factors like how he is doing at work, school etc and his home environment and lifestyle and also the mental help and support he is getting then those could help him speed up recovery

Answer:

There is a chance that Marcus will no longer have the symptoms of ezquizophrenia, but the chances of fully recovering and healing are slim.

Step-by-step explanation:

Schizophrenia requires lifelong treatment, even after symptoms subside, so we can say that Marcus will never fully recover from schizophrenia but can control the symptoms.

Schizophrenia is treated with medication and psychosocial therapy to help control the disease. During periods of crisis or times of symptom aggravation, hospitalization may be necessary to ensure the patient's safety, adequate nutrition, adequate sleep and basic hygiene.
