Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia can feel overwhelming, as it impacts the way someone thinks, feels, and acts. It affects each person differently, and there are different forms of the condition, each with its own set of challenges. It’s not just one disorder, but a range of experiences that can be hard to understand from the outside.

At Florida Atlantic Coast Treatment Solutions (FACTS), we believe in offering care that’s as unique as the person receiving it. Our team is dedicated to providing support, stability, and hope through a treatment plan that’s tailored to each individual. We’re here to help you manage symptoms and take steps toward living a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

Understanding Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is not a singular condition but rather a spectrum of disorders that manifest in various forms. In the United States, schizophrenia and related disorders affect between 0.25% and 0.64% of the population, according to surveys and medical records. The different types of schizophrenia include:

Paranoid Schizophrenia: This type of schizophrenia is characterized by strong delusions of persecution, such as believing others are plotting against them, as well as auditory hallucinations. People with paranoid schizophrenia often experience intense fear and mistrust of others.
Hebephrenic Schizophrenia (Disorganized Type): Individuals with this type of schizophrenia often exhibit disorganized thinking, speech, and behavior. They may struggle to maintain a coherent train of thought or engage in organized conversation, which can make it difficult for them to manage day-to-day tasks.
Catatonic Schizophrenia: This type is marked by unusual movements or behaviors, such as extreme stillness or excessive movement. Individuals may exhibit unusual postures, unresponsiveness, or repetitive behaviors. In some cases, catatonic schizophrenia can lead to significant physical health risks if untreated.
Undifferentiated Schizophrenia: When symptoms do not clearly fit into one specific type of schizophrenia, the condition is classified as undifferentiated. People with undifferentiated schizophrenia experience a mix of symptoms from various categories, making diagnosis and treatment challenging.
Residual Schizophrenia: In this type, the individual may have a history of schizophrenia but no longer experiences prominent symptoms such as delusions or hallucinations. However, they may still exhibit social withdrawal, reduced emotional expression, and difficulty with daily functioning.
Simple Schizophrenia: Often diagnosed in adolescents or young adults, simple schizophrenia typically involves a slow onset of symptoms such as social withdrawal, apathy, and a decrease in personal hygiene or functionality. While the symptoms may not appear as dramatic as other forms of schizophrenia, this type can still profoundly affect the individual’s life.

Schizophrenia Treatment with Understanding Care

At FACTS, we provide personalized treatment for psychotic disorders in Florida. Our team of mental health experts works closely with each individual to create a personalized plan that meets their specific needs and supports their recovery. We employ a combination of therapies to help manage symptoms, enhance coping skills, and support individuals in rebuilding their lives.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one therapy enables clients to delve into the emotional and psychological aspects of their condition. During these sessions, clients and their therapist set goals, address past issues, and discuss future plans. These sessions are deeply helpful to the healing process.

Group Therapy

Group therapy provides a supportive space for individuals with schizophrenia to connect with others who understand their struggles. By sharing experiences, clients can develop social skills, improve communication, and gain valuable insight into their recovery.

Family Therapy

Schizophrenia can create significant challenges within families. Family therapy helps improve communication, foster understanding, and provide emotional support for loved ones, enabling families to become active participants in the recovery process.

Holistic Therapies

In addition to traditional therapies, FACTS offers holistic approaches, including yoga, mindfulness practices, art therapy, and other experiential methods. These therapies help clients manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall well-being.
