How good are anti-psychotic drugs for schizophrenia?

Helps not perfect: just like every medication, we need more scientific research and drug development to make even better medications. They have side effects but can dramatically help reduce hallucinations and delusions for the majority of patients. I have seen many patients who start out completely confused and in the end able to go back to school and work.

Schizophrenia: Althought there is not a cure for Schizophrenia, medications for it's treatment have improved over time. This includes side effect profile and medications that do a better job of addressing negative symptoms. Cariprazine (Vraylar) & amisulpride (Solian) are two antipsychotic medications that are particularly helpful for the treatment of negative symptoms of Schizophrenia.
