What is Schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia is a mental health disorder characterized by distorted thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It can significantly impact an individual's ability to function in daily life. 

KADDs Wellness is committed to offering personalized and evidence-based interventions to help individuals manage and navigate the complexities of schizophrenia. Providers take a holistic approach to care, making treatment feel tailored to the individual and their unique health needs and goals.

How can psychotherapy help individuals with schizophrenia?

Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, plays a crucial role in supporting individuals with schizophrenia. Skilled therapists work collaboratively with clients to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, providing a safe space for expression. 

Through psychotherapy, individuals can develop coping strategies, enhance interpersonal skills, and better understand their experiences.

Therapy and coaching sessions focus on building coping mechanisms tailored to the unique challenges of schizophrenia. By addressing stressors, managing symptoms, and improving communication, individuals can enhance their overall quality of life.

How does psychiatry contribute to the treatment of schizophrenia?

In conjunction with psychotherapy, psychiatry plays a vital role in the treatment of schizophrenia. 

KADDs Wellness evaluates individual needs and recommends medications to alleviate symptoms and stabilize mood. Regular psychiatric sessions ensure ongoing monitoring and adjustments to the treatment plan as needed.

Your provider utilizes an evidence-based, highly personalized, holistic medicine approach to care that involves close collaboration between psychotherapists and psychiatrists. This ensures a comprehensive understanding of each individual's needs and allows for a coordinated effort to provide the most effective treatment.

KADDs Wellness uses GeneSight testing, a psychotropic test, to help your practitioner determine which medication will work best based on your genetic makeup.
