The ABCs of Schizophrenia & Psychotic Disorders
Psychotic disorders like schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder interfere with the way a person thinks and behaves, causing them to struggle to discern reality from false perceptions and beliefs. This often results in the individual developing persistent delusions about themselves or others. Treatment usually includes antipsychotic medications, and we work with clients to achieve the highest levels of functioning and independence.
Schizophrenia affects approximately 2.8 million adults in the US.
