Educational Objectives At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to: • Explain goals associated with acute phase and maintenance phase schizophrenia treatment and the need for updated treatment guidelines • Illustrate treatment challenges, risk of relapse, and the subsequent impact on patient outcomes • Study new and emerging therapies, and their unique abilities to meet unmet needs • Identify how to safely and effectively incorporate new therapies into patient-specific treatment plans Natural Progression of Schizophrenia Schizophrenia is a chronic thought disorder characterized by disturbances in perceptions, emotional response, and social interactions.

DSM-5 Criteria for Schizophrenia • 2 or more symptoms* present for a period of 1 month or more: Disorganized Disorganized Negative Hallucinations Delusions speech behavior symptoms *1 symptom must include hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized speech. • Must cause a significant disturbance in one’s life • Total duration of symptoms lasts at least 6 months • Other disorders (eg, schizoaffective disorder, substance use) should be ruled out Adapted from: American Psychiatric Association. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Fifth edition. 2013. Statistics Adherence Approximately 50%-75% of people with schizophrenia are nonadherent to medication treatment. Nearly 75% of patients discontinue medication due to adverse effects. Partial adherence may occur in as high as 70% of patients with schizophrenia. Masand PS, et al.

Statistics 13%-27% of patients with schizophrenia experience persistent negative General symptoms. Patients with multiple negative symptoms have nearly a 60% higher risk of readmission at 1 year post hospitalization. Due to the impact of negative symptoms in schizophrenia, new treatment therapies are being developed to help target these symptoms. Hovington CL, et al. BMC Psychiatry. 2012;12:224; Patel R, et al.
