About Schizophrenia Therapeutics
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that alters the perception, thinking, and social behavior of an individual. Individuals suffering from this disease face difficulty in distinguishing between imaginary things and reality. Although schizophrenia is not as prevalent as other mental disorders, it affects 7 or 8 individuals out of 1,000 people. Globally, the disease affects 1% of the total population. Schizophrenic patients are usually diagnosed with low levels of dopamine and serotonin. These are major neurotransmitters in the brain and are responsible for transmitting nerve signals from one neuron to another neuron. Deficiency of these neurons in the brain leads to impairment of thinking, perception, and the activity of an individual. At present, the treatment regimen for this disease focuses on relieving symptoms. Thus, antipsychotic drugs are used as a standard treatment regimen for schizophrenia. It helps in reversing the low levels of dopamine and serotonin, thereby improving the patient's condition.
