摘要
Recovery rates and relapse in schizophrenia is ever increasing despite advances in treatments that are available. Schizophrenia is a disorder that has its fair share of disability and distress related to physical and medical comorbidity that occurs. There is a need for non medical interventions in schizophrenia that focus on wellness with the aim of enhancing the overall quality of life of both the patients and their caregivers. Wellness based interventions shall focus on cultivating a positive mindset, enhancing optimism and resilience and building strengths for better self esteem and confidence in combating the stress and turmoil associated with schizophrenia. This shall aid better recovery and shall enhance the quality of life of patients in the years to come. © 2016, Springer India Pvt. Ltd.
