What Is Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental health disorder that affects a person’s thoughts, perceptions, emotions, and behavior. It typically appears in late adolescence or early adulthood and often requires long-term treatment and support. Symptoms may vary in intensity and can be distressing or disorienting for both the individual and their family.
Common symptoms of schizophrenia include:
- Hallucinations: Hearing, seeing, or sensing things that aren’t there
- Delusions: Strong beliefs that are not based in reality
- Disorganized thinking or speech
- Flat affect: Reduced emotional expression or lack of motivation
- Social withdrawal or difficulty functioning in daily life
- Paranoia or confusion
Schizophrenia can also include episodes of psychosis—periods where a person loses touch with reality. Early intervention and ongoing support are critical for long-term well-being.
Our Approach to Treatment
At Lotus Behavioral Health Services, we take a holistic, person-centered approach to schizophrenia care. We recognize the challenges this condition brings, and we provide comprehensive treatment designed to improve functioning, reduce symptoms, and restore quality of life.
Therapy and Supportive Counseling
While schizophrenia is primarily treated with medication, therapy plays a crucial role in helping clients manage their condition. Our therapists work with individuals and families to:
- Improve insight into symptoms and triggers
- Develop coping skills for stress, anxiety, and social situations
- Strengthen daily routines and independent living skills
- Provide family education and support for loved ones
- Address co-occurring disorders like depression or substance use
Our goal is to help each client find strength in structure, confidence in themselves, and support in their relationships.
Medication Management
Medication is often essential in managing symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. Our psychiatric providers carefully evaluate each client’s needs and provide medication management with an emphasis on safety, stability, and minimizing side effects. We monitor treatment progress closely and adjust as needed for optimal outcomes.

All our services are provided via secure telehealth, allowing individuals and families to receive expert care without needing to leave the comfort of home. Telehealth eliminates transportation barriers and allows for consistent, ongoing care—critical for managing schizophrenia effectively.
