Schizophrenia is a mental illness that most often requires multiple therapies that help a person manage their mental disease. For the larger portion of individuals with schizophrenia a combination of psychotropic medication and a psychosocial therapy is most successful (Townsend, 2008). Schizophrenia has been reviewed and presented in steps for nursing to help diagnose people. The cause of the mental disease remains a puzzle to psychiatrists, but identifying the type and care needed for people is clear. Schizophrenia can be managed, but it requires the assistance of medication and possibly other therapies.
BPD is an impulsivity and instability in mood, self-image, and personal relationships (NAMI). Many of the symptoms for BPD include chronic boredom or feelings of emptiness, suicidal and non-suicidal self-injurious thoughts, inappropriate, intense or uncontrollable anger and frantic efforts to avoid abandonment. When trying to treat BPD, there is no specific medication but there are medications to treat the symptoms. But with the right therapy and treatment, people have experienced long periods of remission of their
In order to prevent this, successful schizophrenia treatment needs to consist of a life-long continuance of both drug and psychosocial support therapies. The medication can help control the patient's hallucinations and delusions, but it cannot help them learn to communicate with others, get a job, and thrive in society. Although a significant number of people with schizophrenia live in poverty, this does not have to be the case. A person with schizophrenia who complies with the lifelong treatment will be able to start a happy and productive life. The first time a person experiences schizophrenia symptoms may be highly unpleasant.
One of the therapies that are well known to treat psychological disorders is called the biomedical therapies, or medical treatments (Hockenbury). Biomedical Therapies are medical treatments which are used to treat a variety of psychological disorders. There are a few different types of medications included in biomedical therapy, which include antipsychotic medications, antianxiety medications, antidepressant medications, lithium, and electroconvulsive therapy (Hockenbury). These medications treat the symptoms of mental or psychological disorders. Medication will not cure the disorder, but it can intervene to help the person suffering from the disorder to feel better (National Institute of Mental Health).

But proper treatment helps most people with bipolar disorder gain better control of their mood swings and related symptoms people with the disorder need long-term treatment to maintain control of bipolar symptoms.

On the other hand, this technique will only work if the client has a good working relationship with the therapist. If they do not get on the SIT will not work at all or may only work for a few months. Another technique for managing stress is biological. There are many drug treatments for stress such as analdohol which was tested in Budzynski’s research into drug related stress therapies. One problem with drugs as a treatment however, is that patients can become very dependent on the drugs and find it hard to come off them.
Some other forms of treatment is rehab, and family therapy also other people suffering from the same disorder also sometimes hospitalization is required to make sure that the medication works and the symptoms will go away.
