ESCAMILLA-OROZCO, Raúl I. et al. Treatment of schizophrenia in Mexico: recommendations from an expert panel. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2021, vol.157, suppl.4, pp.S1-S12.  Epub Apr 25, 2022. ISSN 2696-1288.  https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.m21000501.

Schizophrenia is a complex illness that currently has no cure. There are, however, numerous therapies that, alone or in combination, are effective in treating the symptoms of the disease and keeping it under control. The choice of treatment must always be individualized, and based on the clinical presentation of the disease, the general condition of the patient and the efficacy of the drug, although the cost and access to services and to the drug must also be considered, as in Mexico it has some limitations. A panel of 12 Mexican experts met virtually to review the latest published data and establish evidence-based treatment recommendations in Mexico that guarantee comprehensive, homogeneous, efficient, and quality medical care.
