Though researchers estimate that as many as 25 million people worldwide experience schizophrenia, it is one of the most misunderstood mental conditions. At the Yang Institute for Integrative Medicine, we recognize the need for improved understanding and extended treatment options for those who have this condition.
Here, we prioritize integrative medicine that considers all aspects of your well-being, allowing us to address more than your symptoms and ultimately reduce their severity for long-term relief. Find the integrative treatment for schizophrenia you have been searching for with the Yang Institute.
Do You Need Integrative Medicine for Schizophrenia?
In many cases, schizophrenia can lead to psychosis, so pursuing effective treatment as early as possible is an excellent step. Schizophrenia often presents between someone’s late teens and early 30s and is categorized by:
- Persistent delusions or hallucinations that cause someone to see, hear, feel or believe something unreal
- Disassociation from one’s body, or the feeling that one’s thoughts and actions are not their own
- Disorganized thinking and behavior, which may present as jumbled speech and unpredictable actions
- Agitation, irritation and an inability to experience pleasure
- Challenges in problem-solving, memory recall, paying attention and other cognitive skills
These symptoms can come and go throughout life, lessen with age or increase in intensity over time. Even if they are currently mild, having an understanding care provider at the ready can ensure you’re prepared to address new or changing symptoms as they appear.
Complementary Treatment for Schizophrenia
The professionals at the Yang Institute are proud of our ability to develop integrative solutions to treatment-resistant conditions that complement your existing therapy for schizophrenia. We offer a different approach through our combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western practices, which allow us to treat your body and mind simultaneously. Through practices like these, our goal is to provide you with more effective care, encouraging improved outcomes and a better quality of life:
- Medication management: Our psychiatrists on staff know that medication-free treatment is not for everyone. Part of our integrative approach involves finding a regimen that works for you and addresses your symptoms.
- Advanced nutrient therapy: Imbalances are common underlying causes of various conditions and symptoms. Advanced nutrient therapy helps you get your levels back in balance so we can address other areas aggravating your condition.
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS): TMS is especially effective for disorders like depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. This treatment is noninvasive and FDA-approved to activate specific areas of your brain and deliver long-term symptom relief.
