FAQ

Questions about Schizophrenia and psychosis

What if the person refuses to come?

This is common, because the illness can stop a person from seeing that anything is wrong. A family member can come first to discuss how to approach it.

Is medicine lifelong?

It depends on the person and the course of the illness. Stopping suddenly carries a high risk of relapse, so any change should be planned with the psychiatrist.

This page is general information, not a diagnosis. Every person’s situation is different, so treatment is decided after a consultation.
