Highlights & Basics
- Schizophrenia symptoms typically begin in early adulthood and may be preceded by years of ill-differentiated symptoms, from feelings of vague suspiciousness about others, trouble concentrating, mood swings, and a decline in self-care, to more characteristic features of psychosis including delusions and hallucinations.
- Initially, patients are usually referred by family members or friends. As the illness progresses, community mental health workers or law enforcement officers tend to be involved.
- Antipsychotic medications and psychosocial interventions are effective for most patients, but to varying degrees.
- Suicidal ideation is one of the most dangerous complications. Suicide prevention is therefore a key aspect of management and should include monitoring for depressive symptoms and risk factors of suicide.
