Seeking asylum

Abstract

Objective:

To highlight our duty of care for patients with persistent and treatment-resistant chronic schizophrenia, some of whom remain homeless.

Conclusions:

That schizophrenia as an illness has not changed, nor has the efficacy of our treatments. A minority of patients have and will continue to develop persistent and chronic illness. Asylum can offer the time and structure required for the maximisation of function and symptom treatment.
