Schizophrenia is one of the most serious and dangerous diseases in psychiatry. How is schizophrenia treated? Hello everyone, I am Dr. Liu, a psychiatrist. Today I will tell you that the treatment of schizophrenia is divided into three stages.
1. Acute phase treatment mainly uses drugs or other treatments to control psychotic symptoms, which generally takes 6-8 weeks. After the first stage, the patient's symptoms are basically undetectable, and in the eyes of ordinary people, the patient's performance is basically normal.
2. In the consolidation phase of treatment, the dose in the acute phase should be used or slightly reduced, and maintained for at least half a year, so that the patient's symptoms completely disappear, the patient regains his understanding of the disease, and can consciously adhere to the treatment. When there is no recurrence of the disease, enter the third stage of maintenance treatment and continue to maintain it at the lowest effective dose for more than two years. If the disease relapses, the maintenance period will be longer. Treatment at this stage is to prevent recurrence.
No matter how long the treatment lasts, our goal is to allow patients to achieve clinical rehabilitation effects, reduce relapse, and allow patients with schizophrenia to enjoy a better life. If you also have mental and psychological problems, please follow me.
