title: Evidence-based management of schizophrenia.
abstract: Antipsychotic medication is the foundation of care for patients who suffer from schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions. Newly diagnosed patients should be treated with atypical antipsychotics, of which the National Institute for Clinical Excellence guidelines recommend five. The quality of clinical evidence will ultimately establish the differences between available treatments.
