title: [Strategies of long-term medication in schizophrenia].
abstract: Schizophrenia is a relapsing disorder. The main goal of neuroleptic long-term treatment is relapse prevention, which is empirically well proven. Availability of different kinds of treatment strategies including new antipsychotic drugs with improved risk/benefit profile allow long-term treatment to be individually tailored. Treatment guidelines developed mainly by the scientific medical societies can help the practitioner in making the right decisions.
