title: Management of chronic schizophrenia.
abstract: Schizophrenia is usually a chronic illness characterised by a series of relapses. Long-term management aims to achieve symptomatic remission for as long as possible. Maintenance drug therapy should be considered and is about one-third of the acute dose. Support in the community as offered by multi-disciplinary teams at day centres and community organisations plays an important part.
