Hear from Max, a licensed Clinical Social Worker living with schizophrenia, as he discusses his treatment and recovery journey.

Schizophrenia is a complex mental health condition that is widely misunderstood and stigmatized. It’s important that we all hear from people living with the condition as well as their care partners to understand the real story behind the challenges and success of the treatment journey, including how long-acting injectable treatment options may be an appropriate part of comprehensive care. Let’s work together to break stigma!

Did you know that there are long-acting injectable (LAI) treatment options for schizophrenia that do not require a daily pill schedule? Learn more about LAIs and how they may be an appropriate part of comprehensive care.
