Supportive therapy for schizophrenia

Abstract

There are insufficient data to identify a difference in outcome between supportive therapy and standard care. There are several outcomes, including hospitalisation and general mental state, indicating advantages for other psychological therapies over supportive therapy but these findings are based on a few small studies where we graded the evidence as very low quality. Future research would benefit from larger trials that use supportive therapy as the main treatment arm rather than the comparator.

Global,regional,national burden of schizophrenia from 1990 to 2021,with projections of prevalence to 2035:findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021

“…Intervention components include cognitive-behavioral therapy to rebuild insight and coping strategies, supportive psychotherapy, psychoeducation to enhance treatment adherence, and supported employment programs to facilitate vocational rehabilitation. Structured family interventions optimize the caregiving environment, while systematic social skills training bolsters community reintegration [36][37][38][39][40][41][42] The synergistic application of pharmacological and psychosocial modalities not only effectively controls symptomatic expression but also comprehensively enhances social functioning and quality of life, ultimately achieving the dual objectives of symptom remission and functional recovery.…”

The Structure of Temperament in Caregivers of Patients with Schizophrenia

“…The thesis of a schizophrenogenic, emotionally insensitive mother became one of the leading hypotheses of systemic family therapy, contributing to the development of systemic therapy, although it largely blamed the child's parents for the child's illness [32]. Modern family therapy, however, has moved away from blaming parents (mothers) for the occurrence of schizophrenia in the family in favor of helping this family and their psychoeducation as well as providing them with support in the hardships of caring for the sick person [33,34].…”

Antipsychotics in Treatment of Schizophrenic Patients with Past Medical History of Coronary Artery Disease

“…A limitation of this study is that in certain countries such as the USA, prevalence of obesity and diabetes is already very high in the population before the typical onset age of schizophrenia. Therefore, it cannot be said for sure whether the drugs merely exacerbate the preexisting condition or whether they induce it in the first place [5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
