Is it possible for a schizophrenic to live and work, raise a family and function completely 'normally' in society without any medication or therapy?
If someone diagnosed with schizophrenia or a schizophrenic-like illness can function in this way is it proof that they were miss-diagnosed?

Yes. But "possible" is not a difficult bar to cross. It is not probable. It is more probable that this can occur with medication. It is yet more probably if you replace "completely" with "relatively."

Nope.
