Our understanding of schizophrenia has evolved over the last century. Pharmacological, psychotherapeutic, and psychosocial treatments have become more effective during the last decade, and great strides have been made in consumer education and reduction of stigma. However, the seriousness of this disorder still presents a challenge to our science and our society to manage and treat more effectively both the acute phases and the long-term aftercare and wellness of an individual. To help meet this challenge, Medscape has created the Schizophrenia Resource Center, which contains a collection of the latest psychiatric and medical news and information on schizophrenia.
