Confidential, evidence-based support for individuals experiencing symptoms related to schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

Symptoms may include disturbances in thought processes, altered perceptions, emotional withdrawal, or difficulties in social and occupational functioning. Our schizophrenia care services focus on accurate assessment, ongoing support, and structured, evidence-based interventions designed to promote stability, improve functioning, and support long-term recovery in a safe and respectful environment.
It feels like a demon residing within your mind. Schizophrenia is a severe, long-term, and debilitating brain problem that affects people.
The majority of mad persons you see have chronic schizophrenia. However, in their early phases, they make up less than 1% of all schizophrenia patients. Schizophrenia patients appear perfectly normal except for minor behavioral abnormalities. Family members only begin to notice symptoms of the illness after a few months.
Schizophrenia symptoms are linked to brain chemicals called serotonin and dopamine. The signs and symptoms of schizophrenia are caused by structural and functional alterations in these substances.
Although anyone can develop schizophrenia at any age, most cases occur in people between the ages of 18 and 40. People who are shy and introverted have a higher chance of developing this illness and making it worse. An individual is more vulnerable if there is a family history of schizophrenia and other mental diseases. Men are more likely than women to have schizophrenia, both in terms of frequency and severity.
People who have experienced psychological trauma such as stress, divorce, job loss, financial loss, etc. are also more likely to develop schizophrenia.
Teenagers who use psychoactive substances like Ganja, Hashish, Opioids, etc. run a higher chance of contracting this illness.
Most people with schizophrenia are not conscious that they need to be in therapy.
Because of this, it is usually left to friends or family to get help and take the sufferer to a mental health facility.
Positive outcomes for patients with schizophrenia depend heavily on identification and treatment.
Complete recovery from schizophrenia is more difficult if treatment is not received for several years.
The most common medications used in the treatment of schizophrenia are antipsychotics. By altering the brain’s dopaminergic neurotransmitter, they reduce symptoms.
Medication is usually enough to keep schizophrenia under control. Nonetheless, in certain circumstances, hospitalization and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) are necessary to treat medical symptoms.

But it increases the risk of recurrence, which is common in people with schizophrenia. Thus, it is imperative to follow up with your doctor on a frequent basis and to take medicine for the whole recommended duration when treating schizophrenia.
In the NURON clinic the therapist helps family members understand how to care for the person with schizophrenia. This implies that the family can make sure that their members adhere to the prescribed course of action and take their medications on schedule. When the patient’s symptoms recur, the family should know when to take them back to the hospital.
Don’t waste time on spiritual healing or spirit exorcism. Avoiding directives or commands such as “You’ll follow my instructions” or “You’re acting like a child.” Over emotion toward the patient or succumbing to their requests could make their symptoms worse.
If you think the patient is not listening, don’t strike them or yell at them. Indirect measures like confining or restraining violent patients can be an ingenious way to handle them.
Discussions are guided, respectful, and focused on understanding concerns and identifying practical steps toward improvement. Clients are supported at every stage of the process.

Psychiatrists are specialists in mental health who use various techniques to diagnose, treat, and support individuals with mental illnesses. They can prescribe medications, unlike other mental health professionals who mainly offer talk therapies and support.
If any negative mood state, anxiety, insomnia, appetite change, emotional disturbance, substance dependence, or any other symptom affecting thought, mood, or sleep persists for more than two weeks, you should consult a psychiatrist. Conversely, any symptoms causing acute distress should not be ignored and should be discussed with your doctor.
It’s a myth that psychiatrists prescribe medicines to make patients sleep throughout the day and that these medicines will cause dependence that patients can never overcome. Barring a few exceptions, most psychiatric medications are non-sedative. Irregular treatments, self-modulation of doses, and irregular lifestyles can hamper your treatment. Psychiatric medications taken under the supervision of a psychiatrist are not addictive.
Treatment duration is influenced by various factors, including your diagnosis, the seriousness of your condition, how long you’ve experienced symptoms, any other medical conditions you have, and how consistently you adhere to treatment plans. It’s important not to stigmatize psychiatric illnesses and to actively seek the help you need.
Seeking help from a psychiatrist for sex-related issues is important because over 75% of such problems stem from psychological stress, performance anxiety, or fear of failure.

Psychiatrists offer a range of treatment options including pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), as well as other empirically supported therapies. They may also recommend support networks, coping strategies, and lifestyle adjustments. In some cases, treatments such as Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy, biofeedback therapy, and Virtual Reality Therapy might be suggested as well.
