title: Care of the recovering schizophrenic: what can the family doctor do?
abstract: Currently, many schizophrenic patients fare poorly outside of hospital. Family physicians consider it impractical to follow this population in their office practice. Two clinical vignettes serve to illustrate realistic management based on the particular course of schizophrenic illness. Early warning signs of serious complications like relapse and depression are addressed.
