Withdrawals and eventual relapses in symptoms

Reference no: EM133623636

Question

Although he was diagnosed over 10 years ago, Mr Zonde does not believe he has Schizophrenia and, as a result, he will often begin a medication regimen and then abruptly stop when he begins to "feel better" (defaults medication). This results in withdrawals and eventual relapses in symptoms which leads to his current readmission cycle. He is usually admitted for roughly eight weeks then discharged with prescribed psychiatric medication.
