Can Schizophrenia Be Treated?

my son 21 yrs old was just diagnosed with some type of schizophrenia -don t know yet which specific type. He might probably started showing some weird behavior since around 18 months ago -& worsened due to his father verbal abuse towards him, more than anything else. It must be on it s beginning, so Can schizophrenia be treated? My son is very smart, but the shy/quiet type, Can he have a normal life (married, working, enjoying life)? Will he need to be on meds for ever? Is schizophrenia a dangerous issue?
