Causes and Risk Factors
The exact cause of schizophrenia is not fully understood, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic, brain chemistry, and environmental factors. Risk factors include a family history of schizophrenia, complications during pregnancy and birth, and psychosocial factors.
Diagnosis of Schizophrenia
Diagnosis involves a comprehensive evaluation by a mental health professional, including a clinical interview, psychological assessments, and medical history review. At Refresh Recovery & Wellness, we use a thorough approach to ensure an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.
Treatment Options for Schizophrenia at Refresh Recovery & Wellness
At Refresh Recovery & Wellness in Norwell, MA, we offer a range of evidence-based treatments for schizophrenia, tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Our multidisciplinary team of professionals is dedicated to helping clients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Antipsychotic Medications: Antipsychotic medications are the cornerstone of schizophrenia treatment. They help manage symptoms by affecting the neurotransmitters in the brain. These medications can reduce hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorders. Second-generation (atypical) antipsychotics are commonly used due to their lower risk of side effects compared to first-generation antipsychotics.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT can help individuals with schizophrenia challenge and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. It can also help reduce the severity of symptoms and improve functioning.
Psychosocial Interventions: These interventions include individual therapy, family therapy, and social skills training. They help individuals manage everyday challenges and improve their ability to function in social settings. Family therapy can also provide education and support to family members.
Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC): CSC is a holistic approach that integrates medication management, psychotherapy, family education and support, case management, and supported education and employment services. It is particularly effective for individuals experiencing their first episode of psychosis.
Lifestyle and Wellness Strategies: Healthy lifestyle habits can significantly impact the management of schizophrenia symptoms. Regular physical activity, a balanced diet, sufficient sleep, and mindfulness practices can help improve overall well-being.
