Therapy as a Navane Alternative

It is unlikely that therapy alone can replace the need for medication in people who have schizophrenia severe enough to require Navane treatment. However, therapy can be an important part of a well-rounded treatment plan. Numerous studies have found that psychosocial treatment, as part of an overall treatment plan, can be very helpful. This therapy helps patients who are already stabilized on antipsychotic medication deal with certain aspects of schizophrenia, such as difficulty with:
 
  • Communication
  • Motivation
  • Self-care
  • Work
  • Establishing and maintaining relationships with others.
