The answer is " people with schizophrenia who are not on medication are too far removed from reality to form the relationship needed".

It is still a mystery to many researchers what the real causes are for the schizophrenia. But an idea is that a mixture of genetics, surroundings and changed mental chemistry and structure may hold an important role in it, the treatment can go on for life long time.
