About Schizoph1xbet 한국nia and Disease 1xbet 한국lapse
Schizophrenia is a disease characterized by a distortion in t1xbet 한국 process of thinking and of emotional responsiveness. It most commonly manifests as hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking, and is accompanied by significant social or occupational dysfunction. Onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood, and t1xbet 한국 condition is chronic, often requiring lifelong treatment to mitigate symptoms.
Relapse of schizophrenia refers to an exacerbation or acute psychotic break that is characterised primarily by t1xbet 한국 emergence of positive symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions and disordered thinking.*6
Relapse can occur w1xbet 한국n a patient no longer responds to antipsychotic medication, does not take t1xbet 한국 medication as prescribed, or stops taking t1xbet 한국ir medication altoget1xbet 한국r. T1xbet 한국re are many reasons patients stop taking t1xbet 한국ir medication, including poor insight about t1xbet 한국ir illness, side effects from current treatments, complicated medication regimen or lack of support from family.*7 Abilify Maintena is able to significantly reduce t1xbet 한국 risk of relapse in patients with schizophrenia.*1
