Question
It’s difficult to concentrate when communicating with others, often getting distracted by surrounding things during conversations, and finding it hard to focus on what others are saying. Could this be a symptom of schizophrenia, and what is the severity of it?
Answer
Schizophrenia is a disease that currently has no definitive cure, and only a very small number of patients may not have relapse due to individual differences, but this does not mean that they will not relapse in the future. The main treatment method at present is medication, using antipsychotic drugs and continuing medication to effectively control the condition. The treatment for schizophrenia requires early detection and timely treatment, and should not be delayed due to social perceptions. After the condition is stabilized, efforts should be made to restore the patient’s social function, and consolidation treatment should be carried out at an appropriate time to avoid stopping treatment immediately.
