Explanation:

To determine correct answers about schizophrenia prognosis:

• "Schizophrenia is more severe in developing countries": Research shows limited resources/access to care in developing nations worsen outcomes, so correct.
• "Prognosis is more favorable for people diagnosed later in life": Late-onset schizophrenia often has better prognosis (fewer cognitive deficits, better response to treatment), so correct.
• "With treatment, most schizophrenia patients can expect a reduction in symptoms and normal social functioning": Effective treatments (meds, therapy) reduce symptoms and improve function, so correct.
• "Treatment with medications is less effective as time goes on": Antipsychotics can be adjusted/augmented; long - term effectiveness isn't uniformly decreasing, so incorrect.
