Treatment of schizophrenia
It is recommended that schizophrenia is treated using a combination of medication and talking therapies. When you are first diagnosed with schizophrenia one of your first priorities is likely to be finding the right treatment.
It is likely that you will need to consider medication with your doctor.
The most common medications used to control the symptoms of schizophrenia are antipsychotics.
The symptoms of schizophrenia can also be treated with talking treatments. Cognitive behaviour therapy has helped many people deal with experiencing psychosis.
