10. RECOVERY AND REHABILITATION  Case management helps people access services, financial assistance, treatment and other resources.  Psychosocial Rehabilitation Programs are programs that help people regain skills such as: employment, cooking, cleaning, budgeting, shopping, socializing, problem solving, and stress management.  Self-help groups provide on-going support and information to persons with serious mental illness by individuals who experience mental illness themselves.

11. RECOVERY AND REHABILITATION  Drop-in centers are places where individuals with mental illness can socialize and/or receive informal support and services on an as- needed basis.  Housing programs offer a range of support and supervision from 24 hour supervised living to drop-in support as needed.  Employment programs assist individuals in finding employment and/or gaining the skills necessary to re-enter the workforce.

12. RECOVERY AND REHABILITATION  Therapy/Counseling includes different forms of “talk” therapy, both individual and group, that can help both the patient and family members to better understand the illness and share their concerns.  Crisis Services include 24 hour hotlines, after hours counseling, residential placement and in-patient hospitalization.

13. MEDICATIONS  Conventional antipsychotics effectively control the “positive" symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and confusion of schizophrenia.  New Generation (also called atypical) antipsychotics treat both the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, often with fewer side effects.

14. CHEMISTRY  Scientist noticed that people who have schizophrenia have an imbalance of serotonin and dopamine; these chemicals are neurotransmitters  The imbalance of these chemicals affects the way a person’s brain reacts to stimuli--which explains why a person with schizophrenia may be overwhelmed by sensory information

15. COMPARE  All of them except residual schizophrenia have the same common symptoms  They can all be passed down genetically  Disorganized and catatonic are the hardest to live with

16. CONTRAST  Residual schizophrenia is the most different one; it usually happens after the symptoms of the schizophrenia are gone.  Catatonic schizophrenia is the rarest type of schizophrenia  Disorganized schizophrenia is the one that is hardest to live life
