Newer, better medicines are constantly being developed that have fewer side effects. Many medications can help, especially with the positive symptoms of hallucinations and delusions. Some of the medicines can cause side effects of tiredness, shakiness or restlessness. Most must be taken for life. Support groups and supportive psychotherapy can also help.
Support groups can be helpful for the family of someone with schizophrenia.
