title: [Diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines (algorithms) in the treatment of schizophrenia. Recommendations of the Croatian Society for Clinical Psychiatry of the Croatian Medical Association].
abstract: This paper presents guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia. Diagnostic guidelines are based on ICD-10 criteria for diagnosis of schizophrenia. Treatment guidelines represent a synthesis of some recently published international algorithms and our own experiences. The guidelines were presented at the seminar organized by the Croatian Association for Clinical Psychiatry and represent professional recommendations of the Association for Diagnostics and Treatment of Schizophrenia. The treatment guidelines include psychopharmacological recommendations for the selection and dosage of antipsychostics, guidelines for psychosocial interventions and psychotherapy. The treatment of the first episode, exarcerbation, relapse of illness, as well as maintenance therapy, treatment resistance and side effects are included.
