Schizophrenia Assessment and Care
Schizophrenia can affect perception, thinking, emotions, and functioning. Coordinated care and individualized assessment are important.
Schizophrenia is a mental health condition that may involve psychosis, such as hallucinations or delusions, as well as changes in thinking, motivation, emotional expression, or functioning. Symptoms and support needs vary. A thorough assessment is important because medical conditions, substances, and other psychiatric conditions can cause similar experiences.
ASSESSMENT & CARE
Assessment and coordinated support
A psychiatric evaluation may review symptoms over time, medical and medication history, sleep, substance use, safety, and day-to-day functioning. Treatment often requires coordinated, ongoing care and may include antipsychotic medication management, psychosocial support, and collaboration with other members of a care team. The appropriate level of care depends on clinical needs.
