What non-drug treatments are available for schizophrenia?
‘We now have the revolutionary insight that schizophrenia – rather than causing an inevitable downhill deterioration – actually entails a slow uphill progression of recovery” (Arnold Kruger, Schizophrenia: Recovery and Hope, 2001). There is no instant cure for schizophrenia but people can and do recover. The experience of schizophrenia is unique to each person and as a result, each person’s experience of recovery is unique – what might work well for one person may not work so well for another. It’s vital, therefore to learn about all the different treatment options available to you so that you can play an active role in your recovery.
