Treatments for Schizophrenia

Psychosocial Therapy

If you have managed to reduce your psychosis via medication and psychotherapy, then psychosocial therapy might be useful for you. Types of psychosocial therapy include:

  • Family education: People with schizophrenia who have a family that supports them tend to recover faster than those who don’t.
  • Social skills training: This training helps people with schizophrenia to improve how they interact socially with others and also allows them to voluntarily participate in some activities.
  • Coordinated specialty care (CSC): This care is mostly for people who just had their first episode of psychosis. CSC uses a team of specialists. They help to provide psychotherapy, medication, family support, and educational support. The goal is that people who just had their first episode of psychosis get the best treatment.
