What is Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally. It may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning and can be disabling.

Treatment for Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia requires lifelong treatment, even when symptoms have subsided. Treatment with medications and psychosocial therapy can help manage the condition. In some cases, hospitalization may be needed.
A psychiatrist experienced in treating schizophrenia usually guides treatment. The treatment team may also include a psychologist, social worker, psychiatric nurse, and possibly a case manager to coordinate care. A full-team approach is often available in clinics specializing in schizophrenia treatment.
