Thoughtful, personalized care for individuals with schizophrenia and related disorders
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. Symptoms often appear in late adolescence or early adulthood and can impact relationships, work, and daily life.
The exact cause is unknown, but a combination of genetics, brain chemistry, and environmental factors may contribute. Early diagnosis and consistent treatment can help reduce symptoms and improve long-term quality of life outcomes.
Common symptoms include:
Symptoms vary widely from person to person and can fluctuate over time. Many people with schizophrenia benefit from a structured, ongoing treatment plan to manage symptoms and prevent relapses.
Antipsychotic medications are the most commonly prescribed treatment for schizophrenia. These medications help reduce hallucinations, delusions, and other disruptive symptoms. Our board-certified psychiatrists monitor each patient’s response to medication and make adjustments as needed.
In addition to medication, many patients benefit from therapy that focuses on building life skills, improving communication, and supporting daily function. Our team offers a variety of therapeutic approaches, including:
Schizophrenia is a long-term condition, but progress is possible. We emphasize a stable provider-patient relationship that encourages trust and communication. Our practice is designed to support recovery and reduce hospitalizations through proactive, collaborative care.
