New survey reveals treatment goals of people with schizophrenia
Details from a large-scale survey focusing on treatment goals for schizophrenia shed new light on what physicians and people with schizophrenia feel is important for long-term quality care, according to Ronald J. Diamond, M.D., co-author of the study.
“When we treat people with any kind of chronic illness, especially schizophrenia, it’s important that we listen to their life goals, what they want out of treatment and what they want out of life,” said Dr. Diamond, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, medical director at the Mental Health Center of Dane County and consultant to the Wisconsin Bureau of Community Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Madison, Wisc. “This study examines the similarities and differences of what schizophrenia patients and their physicians view as primary treatment goals.” Dr. Diamond spoke today at the American Medical Association’s 23rd Annual Science Reporters Conference in Washington D.C.

“New survey reveals treatment goals of people with schizophrenia”
Dr. Diamond sounds like an excellent physician. That would be a speech worth reading in transcripted form.
