Team Solutions™
Making Reintegration the Goal
About one in every 100 adults suffers from schizophrenia. Yet the people who have this illness can manage their symptoms when they work effectively with their doctor and treatment team. The Team Solutions™ program, Making Reintegration the Goal, helps others learn about the symptoms and causes of schizophrenia and some of the ways in which they can help relieve or minimize their symptoms.
The program is intended to provide useful advice and helpful hints in managing possible symptoms of schizophrenia. Patients should always discuss their treatment routing with their doctor before making any treatment or therapy changes. Although schizophrenia is an illness that cannot be cured, treatment with medication has enabled many people to work toward recovery--and their life goals.
