Scezofernia
Hi I have developed scezofernia in my 35 th age. I have predominantly positive symptoms with little bit depression. I'm taking encrote chrono 400 MG, risdone 2 MG, And an antidepressant Recita. I'm now feeling well. Will I go for ECT treatment for scezofernia I heard that ECT for scezofernia is safe and it will completely reverse scezofernia is it true. Or medicine alone can treat scezofernia in late life like around 35 age . I'm and can medicine alone can reverse scezofernia at late onset. Honest answers required. Then I consulted
ECT treatment for schizophrenia does not reverse the illness. It is used for acute treatment of positive symptoms. After remission of symptoms you need to maintain the improvement with medications only. You need to take medication for a long time even lifetime. Newer medications have come which improve the functionality so that most of the symptoms are under control in majority of people. Good luck
