Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects your thinking, emotions, relationships, and decision-making. And because there’s no cure, getting the proper treatment early is the best way to improve the chances of managing the illness.

Schizophrenia treatment will center on managing your symptoms. You may need to stay on medication for a long time, possibly even for life. Psychotherapy, a kind of talk therapy, will likely also be a big part of the plan to help you understand and manage your symptoms. The right treatments, along with practical and emotional support from your loved ones, will go a long way to help you navigate your life.
