Synopsis

This guideline on Schizophrenia, commissioned by NICE and developed by the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health, sets out clear, evidence- and consensus-based recommendations for healthcare staff on how to manage and treat schizophrenia in adults. This guideline is an update of the previous guidance (full guideline published 2003), which was the first guideline that NICE ever produced and which was judged to be superior to other schizophrenia guidelines in an international survey. This updated guideline provides new clinical and economic evidence about the use of psychological and psychosocial interventions and antipsychotic drugs and new reviews of early intervention services, primary care and treatment for physical health problems. There are also new chapters on access and engagement for minority ethnic groups and on service user and carer experience of treatment and care for schizophrenia.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

The original NICE schizophrenia guideline was of remarkable superiority in its methodological quality compared with other national treatment guidelines throughout the world. This updated version of the guideline is yet again of exceptional quality, demonstrating rigour in its development, clarity in its presentation and noticeable breadth in its coverage. Whether dealing with drug and psychosocial treatments, patient experience, ethnic minorities or health economics, based on current evidence the guideline opens up new vistas on the best treatments available for people with schizophrenia. A landmark of schizophrenia practice guidelines. --Professor Wolfgang Gaebel, Professor of Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of the Heinrich-Heine-University, Düsseldorf and Past President German Psychiatric Association (DGPPN)

There are still many inequalities that exist in mental health, some of which are particularly pertinent for people with schizophrenia. These inequalities are even more difficult to overcome for people from ethnic minorities, who often gain access to help at a very late stage. This guideline is the first to tackle these problematic issues by undertaking a full evidence review of the problems faced by people from African Caribbean groups in accessing UK services. I can thoroughly recommend this world class guideline to anyone with an interest in the evidence about what works for people with schizophrenia. --Professor Dinesh Bhugra, President, Royal College of Psychiatrists (2008-2011)
