What Is Schizophrenia?
8. Common Treatments for Schizophrenia
Treatment for schizophrenia is a lifelong process. Unfortunately, success rates of many treatments are mixed due to the willingness of patients. Those suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, for example, might refuse treatment or believe that helpful family members or doctors are working against them. When a person is not willing to go through treatment, it becomes a lot more difficult to manage the disorder and can cause the symptoms to worsen over time. Still, those who commit to treatment have been able to achieve great things and many can integrate into society.
For many, the treatment of schizophrenia involves a mix of medications, therapy sessions, and holistic approaches like taking vitamins and managing a healthy diet. Working with a doctor is the best way to discover the most useful treatment path.
