Análise dos métodos de tratamento da esquizofrenia na atualidade com enfoque nas medidas não farmacológicas, uma revisão

Abstract

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that encompasses symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, thought and speech disorders, disturbance of emotions and affect, cognitive deficits and avolition. This disease has a prevalence of approximately 0.6% in the world population and in Brazil it is possible to determine a prevalence between 0.3 - 2.4%. As it is a condition highly linked to negative social stigmas and with symptoms highly interfering with the patient's life condition, the constant evaluation of its management and treatment is of great value. The present study used the PubMeb database to select articles that dealt with the propaedeutics of schizophrenia. The results found served as a basis for elucidating the most conventional forms of treatment today, focusing on non-pharmacological measures that are focused on improving the patient's quality of life and on recovering his autonomy and functionality.
