Treatment resistant is when you don’t have an adequate resolution of your symptoms after taking at least two antipsychotic medications that are not clozapine.

A 2019 study analyzed several research studies and found common factors that predicted that someone would like fall into the treatment resistant category. They are:
Early age of onset (most robust predictor)
Being male
Being born in the autumn or winter
Poor functioning before the diagnosis

Clozapine is the strongest medicine we have to treat schizophrenia. No other medicine has come close to the power it wields in knocking out symptoms. Why don’t we use it all the time?

If you can’t tolerate clozapine or don’t want to deal with it, other treatments are electroconvulsive therapy, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, called rTMS and deep brain stimulation. ECT has been around the longest and has the best track record of improving schizophrenia symptoms. rTMS is still new and experimental as is deep brain stimulation. Deep brain stimulation requires surgery and we need a lot of more information about its effectiveness before it becomes an accepted treatment recommendation.

Schizophrenia treatment requires medication to manage it. However supportive therapy is still very helpful. Online therapy is becoming the standard delivery method during the pandemic.\n
