Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder characterized by delusions,
hallucinations, unorganized behavior, negative symptoms,
and social dysfunction. Treatment of schizophrenic patients
includes pharmacological and psychosocial treatments. Although
antipsychotic drugs constitute the basis of pharmacological
treatment, research dealing with schizophrenia has shown that
psychosocial approaches accelerate clinical improvement.
Psychosocial approaches should be supported and integrated
with drug therapy. Most schizophrenia patients benefit from the
approaches in combination of antipsychotics and psychosocial
treatment. Epidemiological studies have shown that there is a
difference in gender, the most frequent age range is 15-25 years
for males while 25-35 years for females and schizophrenia is
more frequent in families with low socioeconomic status. In
etiological studies, schizophrenia has been explained by genetic
factors, brain structural changes, neurochemical changes,
neurophysiological changes and endocrinal factors. It has been
suggested that 4 basic symptoms of schizophrenia are association,
ambivalence, autism (autism) and affection. Schizophrenia
is divided into five subtypes as paranoid, disorganized, catatonic,
undifferentiated and residual by considering clinical results.
Schizophrenia is a chronic disease that affects patients' daily
lives. The goal of the treatment is to reduce or eliminate the
symptoms, increase the quality of life and make life adaptable
to the patient and reduce the destructive effects of the disease
as much as possible.
