There is no treatment for schizophrenia, but there are medications and therapies to help manage the symptoms and live life to the fullest. Antipsychotic medications such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine) are used. But one of the side effects is the loss of white blood cells in patients. These medications are known to have negative reactions with other medications, even herbs. It is also difficult to wean the patient off these medications. Psychosocial therapy is good for people with schizophrenia who are already stabilized on antipsychotic treatment. Psychosocial therapy helps these patients cope with the daily challenges of the illness, such as difficulties with communication, self-care, work, and establishing and maintaining relationships. Patients learn coping mechanisms that help them resolve these problems, socialize, and lead a regular life. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help patients with schizophrenia refocus their thoughts. It is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on thinking and behavior. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help patients with symptoms that don't go away even when they take medication. The therapist teaches people with schizophrenia how to assess the reality of their thoughts and perceptions, how to not listen to those extra voices and see those imaginary people, and how to manage their symptoms.
