A prominent, popular and age-old accepted myth about Schizophrenia is that, it is a chronic, incurable progressive mental illness with genetic defects of the brain. This view has been promoted not only by mainstream media and pharmaceutical companies, but also by psychiatric professionals and even the governments (Breeding, 2008).Since the time of Emil Kraepelin, Schizophrenia has been viewed as a chronic, debilitating disorder with a downhill course and little or no hope for sustained recovery. Many researchers have considered it as a chronic biological illness and focussed mainly on the medical model of this particular disorder.
