In this Healthed lecture, Dr Aneuryn Rozea, Consultant Psychiatrist; Lower North Shore Community Mental Health Team; Northern Sydney Local Health District Eating Disorders Service will explain that schizophrenia is a neuropsychiatric disorder that often co-occurs with other chronic conditions. It is a progressive disease. Rates of remission and recovery after a single episode are good (~80%), but rates decline with each subsequent episode. Maintaining adherence and optimizing symptom control improves physical health outcomes and this is where GPs have a very important role!
