Slide 4-

Diagnostic Process for Schizophrenia Physical and lab exams rule out psychotic disorder due to a medical condition and substance-induced psychosis Imaging (CT, MRI, PET) are seldom helpful in diagnosis The diagnosis is commonly made from history and the mental status exam There are currently no reliable biomarkers for diagnosis or severity

Severity in Schizophrenia People with schizophrenia have different levels of disability varying from no disability to complete dependence on institutional care The amount and type of disability is related to the symptoms of the individual’s illness and how responsive these symptoms are to treatment
Slide 11-

Severity in Schizophrenia The severity of psychotic symptoms are related to How distracting Do they influence behavior – eg, command hallucinations Do they cause suffering Do they impair social functioning – eg, suspiciousness
Slide 12-

Severity The severity of negative symptoms are related to Social isolation Apathy Lack of expressiveness The severity of cognitive impairments are related to Poor concentration Poor memory Inability to make simple decisions Inability to interpret social signals Slower pace
Slide 13-

Pharmacological Treatment of Acute Schizophrenia Antipsychotic medications are effective for decreasing the severity of psychotic symptoms Nearly all patients on antipsychotic medications will experience some burden from side effects Antipsychotics are relatively ineffective for negative symptoms and cognitive impairment
Slide 14-

Long-term treatment of schizophrenia Antipsychotic medications are effective for preventing relapse in stabilized patients Effective nonpharmacological treatments include patient and family education, skills training, supported employment, cognitive behavior therapies, and psychotherapies For most individuals, antipsychotic medications control the symptoms while non-pharmacological treatments address the impairments in social, vocational, and educational functioning
