Does relapse matter? Insights from new data in schizophrenia
It is often assumed that relapse leads to poor long-term outcomes, but new data question this in regard to symptoms, social function, quality of life and, possibly, employment. We consider this together with other impacts, risks and costs and how individual circumstances all influence decisions about antipsychotic maintenance treatment to prevent relapse.
