Schizophrenia is difficult to treat, and one doesn’t see the vast improvement in patients with schizophrenia that is seen in those with other disorders. The symptoms of schizophrenia are extremely difficult to cope with, both for the individual and the individual’s loved ones. There are medications, however, such as atypical antipsychotics, which have been helpful in stabilizing those with schizophrenia. The atypical antipsychotics help individuals think more clearly, stabilize their mood, and reduce hallucinations and delusions.
