Statement of Need:
New advances in the understanding of schizophrenia etiology and treatment have created an increased interest on the part of patients, families, and the treatment team in redefining remission and functional recovery. It is becoming more apparent that patients and clinicians must change their frame of reference when defining remission in schizophrenia to focus on improvements in symptomatic, functional, and cognitive outcomes, as is the case in mood and anxiety disorders. The treatment team plays a critical role in redefining remission and functional recovery by identification of: functional improvements, barriers to compliance, and improved access to resources. Interventions to enhance medication adherence—careful assessment, assertive case management, psychoeducation, and use of long-acting intramuscular medication—can be useful tools for improving functional outcomes and obtaining remission in patients with schizophrenia. In this evidence-based psychCME TV activity, the experts explore the emerging recovery movement in mental health and discuss the role the multidisciplinary treatment team plays in improving patient outcomes.
