Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe brain disorder that affects the way people think, feel, and behave. This serious mental health condition can be distressing and disruptive for day-to-day life. Symptoms, which may vary from person to person, commonly include delusions, hallucinations, difficulty concentrating or thinking, disorganized behavior, and problems with motivation. Symptoms typically start in early adulthood and require lifelong attention.
Treatment for schizophrenia usually involves a combination of medication, therapy, skills training, and other supports. This means that care is provided by a team of mental health professionals, such as psychiatrists and therapists. Social workers aim to help individuals better understand the condition, identify triggers, manage vulnerabilities, and implement evidence-based strategies to manage and reduce symptoms. Several therapy types can help people change how they think about and respond to their symptoms and experiences. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one commonly used and effective example.
