Background
-
WFSBP: The main goals of treatment during the stable phase are to ensure that symptom remission or control is sustained, that the patient is maintaining or improving their level of functioning and quality of life, that monitoring for adverse treatment effects continues, and relapse is prevented.
-
APA: Because schizophrenia is a chronic illness that influences virtually all aspects of life of affected persons, treatment planning has three goals: 1) reduce or eliminate symptoms, 2) maximize quality of life and adaptive functioning, and 3) promote and maintain recovery from the debilitating effects of illness to the maximum extent possible.
