Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by
contiuous or relapsing episodes of psychosis.
Symptoms typically come on gradually, begin in young
adulthood, and in many cases never resolve. About half of
those diagnosed with schizophrenia will have a significant
improvement over the long term with no further relapses,
and a small proportin of these will recover completely.
The other half will have a lifelong impairment. In some
cases, people may be repeatedly admittd to hospitals.
Social problems such as long-term unemployment, poverty, homelessness, exploitatin, and victiizatin are
commonly correlated with schizophrenia. The mainstay of
treatment is antisychoti medicatin, along with counselling and social rehabilitatin. The WPA webinars on
schizophrenia management will be addressed mainly to
the clinical doctors, who would like to enrich their pract
cal experience in the treatment of schizophrenia in order to bring our patints back to their families and even to their job.
