The assessment should include questions related to the treatment of schizophrenia. Does the patient receive psychiatric mental health services? Is she able to keep her scheduled appointments? A review of prescription, over-the-counter and herbal medications should also be obtained. It is especially important to know if the women’s antipsychotic medication was discontinued or changed, because she may experience increased symptoms such as delusions or hallucination. It is equally important to assess for medication adherence, as studies indicate that a high percentage (40-50 percent) of patients with schizophrenia are no adherent with their medication regimen (Sadock & Sadock, 2008).
