What is schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disorder that alters the mental and emotional health of adults and teens. The condition causes serious symptoms like hallucinations and delusions that negatively affect a person’s perception of reality.
Recovery Psychiatric Services provides comprehensive, compassionate schizophrenia care for adults.
The medical team also provides evaluations and treatments for schizoaffective disorder, a condition that causes a combination of schizophrenia symptoms and depression, mania, or other mood disorder symptoms.
When should I seek medical attention for schizophrenia?
Schedule a diagnostic evaluation at Recovery Psychiatric Services if you or your teen experience symptoms of schizophrenia, such as:
Hallucinations
Hallucinations describe seeing things or hearing voices that don’t exist.
Delusions
Delusions are false beliefs that aren’t reality-based. This can include believing that someone is following you or the certainty that a catastrophic event is about to occur.
Disorganized speech
People with schizophrenia may speak in incomplete sentences or string together words that have no meaning.
Schizoaffective disorder also causes delusions and hallucinations, as well as manic moods or depressive episodes.
Because schizophrenia symptoms can severely impact a person’s cognitive function, they may not realize they need medical attention. The medical team can provide guidance to help you get your loved one the help they need to confirm a schizophrenia diagnosis and manage their symptoms.
The team offers psychiatric evaluations in-office for adults and teens to assess the severity of your symptoms and how they affect your health and quality of life.
How is schizophrenia treated?
Schizophrenia is a lifelong condition that requires ongoing medical management to prevent it from worsening. People with schizoaffective disorder also need continuous care to ensure they can function well in their day-to-day life.
Recovery Psychiatric Services team customizes a care plan using medications and psychiatric therapies to keep your schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder symptoms under control in the long-term.
Medications
Antipsychotics and other medications are an effective treatment for schizophrenia.
Therapy
Once medications bring your symptoms under control, you can benefit from ongoing psychiatric therapy. Therapy helps you recognize and cope with the challenges of living with schizophrenia.
