At Avalon Malibu, we have extensive experience working with clients who have received a schizophrenia diagnosis. It can be overwhelming to receive a new mental health diagnosis. A lot of people don’t know what the next step will be after speaking with a doctor. Let’s go over what we recommend our Avalon Malibu clients do after receiving a schizophrenia diagnosis.
Getting a Schizophrenia Diagnosis
If you’ve recently gotten a schizophrenia diagnosis, then you’re probably wondering what you should do next. Take a look at the following suggestions and see if any of them make sense for your situation.
Medication
After receiving a schizophrenia diagnosis, many people find that medication is incredibly helpful for symptom management and very effective. Medication is certainly not the right option for everyone. With that being said, can be a great opportunity to improve your mental health.
We do offer medication services for our clients here at Avalon Malibu. If you’d like to speak with a psychiatrist about starting medication, feel free to give us a call and we’ll set up a time for you to meet with a member of our team to discuss pharmaceutical options.
Therapy
Therapy can be extremely helpful for people with a schizophrenia diagnosis and there are a few different reasons for this. At Avalon Malibu, we recommend that our clients participate in therapy because there are so many different benefits that it can provide for someone’s mental health. Your therapist will most likely be able to help you learn more about mental health, identify your schizophrenia symptoms, and improve your personal mental health.
Main Provider
Many people with a schizophrenia diagnosis have one main mental health provider. This is the person that helps coordinate their care and may even help with their medications. Having a main provider is a good way to make sure that you’re on the right track, so consider finding a professional with the right specialty.
Getting a schizophrenia diagnosis can open a lot of doors. If you’re not sure what your next steps are, you’re not alone. It can be helpful to speak with a mental health provider about your mental health situation. If you’re interested in this, then you can go ahead and give us a call today at (844) 857-5992. We look forward to helping you find the right mental health options after receiving a schizophrenia diagnosis, so don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
