Schizophrenia Treatment Options
Treatment is personalised according to symptoms, treatment history, overall health and individual needs.
A Personalised Plan

Parts of a Treatment Plan
Medication
Antipsychotic medicines are commonly used to manage psychotic symptoms. A psychiatrist can monitor effectiveness and possible side effects.
Psychological Therapy
Therapy can help individuals develop coping strategies and manage distress associated with symptoms.
Family Support
Families can learn about schizophrenia, improve communication and recognise early changes in symptoms.
Psychoeducation
Understanding the condition and treatment can help individuals and caregivers participate more actively in care.
Psychosocial Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation can support social skills, daily functioning, education, employment and independence.
Long-Term Management
Regular follow-up helps monitor progress and adjust treatment when necessary.
