Harvard School of Business Mental Illness Schizophrenia Case Study

Case Study Schizophrenia

For this case study, you may find yourself challenged when trying to treat this disorder based on your perspective only. My expectation is that each question will be about 1 page.

You will need to read the following case study and then answer the following questions:

1.Diagnose the case (we know it is schizophrenia… what kind). Use the DSM-5 and identify the criteria you have used to diagnose.

2.Distinguish between the neuroleptic “conventional” antipsychotic medications such as Thorazine and the more second-generational “atypical” antipsychotic medications such as Risperdal as to their negative side effects.” How effective are these drugs? What precautions should be taken to mitigate the negative side effects of these drugs?

3.Based on your answer to #2, what kind of treatment would your perspective recommend (this is based on WHY your perspective identifies the basis of behavior) in addition to medication. Based on your research is there a successful way to treat Schizophrenia without drugs?
