The Changing Objectives of Schizophrenia Treatment

Host: Leslie P. Lundt, MD Guest: Phil Harvey, PhD The treatment goals for schizophrenia have evolved from merely managing symptoms to improving our patients' real-world functionality.

Dr. Phillip Harvey, professor of psychiatry at Emory University School of Medicine, joins host Dr. Leslie Lundt to discuss current tools for assessing and treating schizophrenia.
