Note: Other psychological treatments may also be effective in treating Schizophrenia and related disorders, but they have not been evaluated with the same scientific rigor as the treatments above. Many medications are also helpful for Schizophrneia and related disorders, but we do not cover medications in this website. Of course, we recommend a consultation with a mental health professional for an accurate diagnosis and discussion of various treatment options. When you meet with a professional, be sure to work together to establish clear treatment goals and to monitor progress toward those goals.
