Psychiatrists say the most effective treatment for schizophrenia patients is usually a
combination of medication, psychological counseling, and self-help resources. Antipsychosis drugs have transformed schizophrenia treatment. Thanks to them, the
majority of patients are able to live in the community, rather than stay in hospital.
The primary schizophrenia treatment is medication. Sadly, compliance (following the
medication regimen) is a major problem. People with schizophrenia often come off
their medication for long periods during their lives, at huge personal costs to
themselves and often to those around them.
