Psychosocial acute treatment in early-episode schizophrenia disorders
Article Abstract:
A study reviews evidence on the treatment of early episode schizophrenia spectrum disorders that, in some cases, contradicts the American Psychiatric Association's generic recommendation of antipsychotic medication treatment for at least one year. Results suggest a time-limited initial trial of psychosocial intervention without antipsychotics may benefit many clients, especially by reducing long-term medication dependence and side effect exposure.
