title: [Integrated management of patients with schizophrenia: beyond psychotropic drugs].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Schizophrenia is a complex disease with severe functional repercussions; therefore it merits treatment which goes beyond drugs.
  It requires an approach that considers a diathesis-stress process that includes rehabilitation, psychotherapeutic strategies for persistent cognitive, negative and psychotic symptoms, psychoeducation of patient and communities, community adaptation strategies, such as the introduction to the work force, and the community model, such as a change in the asylum paradigm.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is necessary to establish private and public initiatives for the integrated care of schizophrenia in the country, advocating the well-being of those with the disease.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The integrated management of schizophrenic patients requires a global view of the patient and his/her disease, and its development is essential.
