Schizophrenia

Living with schizophrenia can be overwhelming, but with the right support, individuals can lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. Affective Counseling provides comprehensive Schizophrenia Treatment focused on stability, empowerment, and compassionate care.

Schizophrenia is mental disorder characterized by disruptions in thought processes, perceptions, emotional responsiveness, and social interactions. Schizoaffective Disorder is when an individual has symptoms of both Schizophrenia and a mood disorder (either Major Depression and Bipolar Disorder).  Both Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder are lifelong diagnoses that require ongoing treatment. 

Symptoms of Schizophrenia include:

• Delusions
• Hallucinations
• Disorganized thoughts, speech and/or behavior

Symptoms of Schizoaffective Disorder are the same as Schizophrenia but also include either (or both)

• Depression
• Mania

Our clinicians work closely with clients and their families to manage symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and cognitive disruptions. Through coordinated therapy, psychoeducation, and support services, we help clients gain insight into their condition and improve overall functioning.

Benefits of Schizophrenia Treatment:

• Improved symptom management and reality testing
• Greater independence and daily functioning
• Stronger support networks and relationships
• Personalized care and relapse prevention
