How would eastern medicine treat schizophrenia?
I’m just wondering if schizophrenics have alternative treatments, than just pills?

I don’t know all the modalities. And I know very little of “eastern medicine”, but I do know that I’ve heard good things of “energy work”. The thing is, it seems to vary from one person to another. I’ve been tremendously helped by it, but my friend doesn’t even have a name for what she does other than “energy work”, and I know that she wouldn’t call what she does “eastern medicine”.
Reiki is one type of energy work, and although I know nothing about it, this site claims it helps mental illness. http://www.essortment.com/healing-mental-illness-reiki-therapy-39048.html
Here is a wall-o-text on the issue, but the general findings are that things like acupuncture, herbal remedies, etcetera alone are notably less effective than medication alone, though the best is to use both.
Of course, therapy makes a huge difference since pills alone won’t really fix much, but that also requires cooperation on the part of the patient to succeed.
Regardless, there will be pills.
