"It is a lifelong mental disorder" isn't shown to be true by the fact of first-episode schizophrenics are more likely to recover than chronic although there are chronics who recover.

• "Long-term": [1]
• "a chronic psychiatric illness" [2] (2nd paragraph)
• "lifelong" [3]
• "Most people with schizophrenia make a recovery, although many will experience the occasional return of symptoms" [4]
• "requires lifelong treatment" [5]
• "for many patients is a lifelong mental disorder" [6]
• In this study, 205 geriatric patients with lifelong poor-outcome schizophrenia [7]
• Based on the best available data, approximately, 1 in 7 individuals with schizophrenia met our criteria for recovery. [8]
• Diagnostic systems as exemplified in the series of American Psychiatry Association manuals Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-I (DSM-I) through Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV), which simply define schizophrenia as a chronic disease with a poor outcome, are seen as examples of circular reasoning. Mounting evidence of recovery rates in excess of 50% is noted from longitudinal studies, and this new paradigm of core schizophrenia as a prolonged illness with an ameliorating course is explored. [9]
• Schizophrenia is often conceptualized by clinicians and researchers alike as a chronic illness with persisting, relapsing or deteriorating symptoms, and no hope for sustained remission and recovery of functioning. Countering this perspective, retrospective and prospective studies with both chronic and recent onset patients suggest that schizophrenia has a heterogeneous course, which can be favorably influenced by comprehensive and continuous treatment as well as personal factors such as family support and good neurocognitive functioning.
