J Clin Psychiatry. 2019 Mar 26;80(2):al18010wc1c. doi: 10.4088/JCP.al18010wc1c.

Abstract

With effective, continuous care, individuals with schizophrenia can experience long periods of wellness, but, unfortunately, many patients end up repeating a cycle of treatment interruptions leading to relapses. In this webcast, Dr John Lauriello and Dr Diana Perkins explore all dimensions of this topic, from the many causes of treatment interruptions to the steps clinicians can take to prevent them. Interviews with actual patients and caregivers are also presented.
