Wellness Apps for Schizophrenia
Symptoms of schizophrenia like hallucinations and paranoia can usually be improved with drugs and therapy. But things like anxiety, trouble with focus, and lack of motivation may not be as easy to treat.
“People with schizophrenia often find it hard to remember to do things like take their medication, or struggle to eat right or get regular physical activity,” says John Torous, MD, a Harvard psychiatrist and director of the Digital Psychiatry Division at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. As a result, their symptoms may get worse, and they end up in a vicious cycle that’s hard to break.
