Schizophrenia: Art therapy can help doctors examine their patients symptoms through
artistic and symbolic means. The living experience of the schizophrenic can be
interpreted through their images that they create. While there are no cures as of yet,
antipsychotics can help reduce the voices that interrupt their daily activities and
improves their quality of life dramatically.
Depression: While very common, depression often goes undiagnosed and mistreated,
which can lead to major depression, and with inattention to that leads to high suicide
rates. Many primary doctors and psychiatrist can diagnose depression easily however.
Those who are clinically depressed attempt to tough it out, but to effectively treat it, they
or their loved ones must seek care from licensed mental health professionals. Many
treatments for depression are available and typically include a combination of
psychotherapy and medication.Psychotherapy teaches patients how to overcome
negative attitudes and feelings and helps them return to normal activities. Drug therapy
is intended to treat symptoms that are thought to result from abnormalities in brain
circuits that regulate mood, thinking and behavior. It may take several weeks for an
antidepressant to fully work to ease depression symptoms, so it's important to stay on
the medication.
