Yeah, I have a close relative who is schizo... part of the symptoms of this odd disease is that patients are almost always in denial that they have the disease and almost all of them stop taking their meds and announce themselves "cured", which is impossible. There has never been a documented case of being cured of this horrific disease. While properly medicated, most of these people are completely normal in all regards, even genius. Off the meds... too unpredictable and can become violent, even with people they love dearly. Sad, sad thing.

Hearing voices is a common symptom. And they believe the voices. There is no reasoning with them on this count.
