Schizophrenia is a serious mental health disorder that affects your ability to think, disrupts your emotions, and changes how you perceive and interact with the world. When your symptoms are active, schizophrenia causes psychotic episodes that make it impossible to separate your thoughts from the real world. As a result, you can’t function in your everyday life.

How is schizophrenia treated?
Antipsychotic medications are the first line of treatment. Your Intuitive Mind Behavioral Health provider prescribes antipsychotics that reduce the frequency and severity of psychotic episodes. If you keep using these medications, psychosis may go into remission.
Though medication is essential, your provider also recommends therapy. Therapy focuses on teaching skills for managing your emotions and behaviors and being successful in life. Many people learn to recognize the signs of a pending psychotic episode to prevent it from occurring.
Schizophrenia is a lifelong brain condition that can be managed with compassionate treatment at Intuitive Mind Behavioral Health. To learn more or schedule an appointment, call or connect online today.
