A common strategy is to switch the person to an antipsychotic medication with a lower risk, such as ziprasidone, lurasidone, cariprazine, or lumateperone. However, the antipsychotic medications that carry the highest risk for these obstacles also have some of the best reputations for efficacy, including clozapine and olanzapine. Antipsychotic medications are usually not interchangeable when it comes to maintaining treatment response, which puts the person at risk of relapse.<\/p>\n<p>Finding the balance between benefits and side effects can be like walking the razor\u2019s edge at times. Both are important, but which one should we prioritize? The National Institute of Mental Health performed a large clinical trial to answer questions like this. The CATIE study took a more \u201creal-world\u201d approach by comparing the length of time people with schizophrenia continued to take the antipsychotic medications they were on. This approach is based on the theory that if someone keeps taking a medication over the long run, the benefits must exceed the drawbacks. People stayed on olanzapine longer than the other antipsychotic medications tested despite having the highest amount of weight and metabolic side effects, presumably because of its superior efficacy (4). CATIE also highlighted the unfortunate lack of medical care for people with schizophrenia. Participants in clinical trials generally get a higher level of care than in the general community, but in the CATIE study, 30% of participants with diabetes, 62% with high blood pressure, and 88% with high cholesterol were not receiving any treatment for these conditions (5).<\/p>\n<p>The saying that \u201can ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure\u201d is common for a reason. It\u2019s much harder to lose weight than it is to prevent weight gain from happening, so waiting to react until after weight gain occurs isn\u2019t usually a good strategy. As such, it\u2019s becoming increasingly common for psychiatrists to prescribe metformin (also used in type 2 diabetes) at the start of treatment with an antipsychotic to reduce the risk of weight gain proactively. Similarly, a medication was approved by the FDA in 2021 containing the highly effective antipsychotic olanzapine with a medication that reduces weight gain potential, samidorphan, in a single pill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u05d0\u05d5\u05dc\u05d9 \u05d6\u05d4 \u05dc\u05d0 \u05de\u05d5\u05d1\u05df \u05de\u05d0\u05dc\u05d9\u05d5 \u05dc\u05d7\u05e9\u05d5\u05d1 \u05e2\u05dc \u05d1\u05e8\u05d9\u05d0\u05d5\u05ea \u05d2\u05d5\u05e4\u05e0\u05d9\u05ea \u05db\u05d7\u05dc\u05e7 \u05de\u05ea\u05d5\u05db\u05e0\u05d9\u05ea \u05d4\u05d8\u05d9\u05e4\u05d5\u05dc \u05d4\u05e4\u05e1\u05d9\u05db\u05d9\u05d0\u05d8\u05e8\u05d9, \u05d0\u05d1\u05dc \u05d6\u05d4 \u05d7\u05d9\u05d5\u05e0\u05d9 \u05dc\u05e2\u05e9\u05d5\u05ea \u05d6\u05d0\u05ea.<\/strong> \u05ea\u05d7\u05d9\u05dc\u05ea \u05d4\u05e2\u05d1\u05d5\u05d3\u05d4 \u05e2\u05e9\u05d5\u05d9\u05d4 \u05dc\u05d4\u05d9\u05e8\u05d0\u05d5\u05ea \u05de\u05db\u05e8\u05d9\u05e2\u05d4, \u05d0\u05d6 \u05d4\u05e0\u05d4 \u05db\u05de\u05d4 \u05e4\u05e8\u05d9\u05d8\u05d9 \u05e4\u05e2\u05d5\u05dc\u05d4 \u05e9\u05d9\u05e2\u05d6\u05e8\u05d5 \u05dc\u05d0\u05e0\u05e9\u05d9\u05dd \u05e2\u05dd \u05e1\u05db\u05d9\u05d6\u05d5\u05e4\u05e8\u05e0\u05d9\u05d4 \u05dc\u05d4\u05d9\u05dc\u05d7\u05dd \u05e0\u05d2\u05d3 \u05d4\u05d0\u05d2\u05e8\u05d4 \u05d4\u05e4\u05d9\u05d6\u05d9\u05ea \u05e9\u05d4\u05d9\u05d0 \u05e2\u05dc\u05d5\u05dc\u05d4 \u05dc\u05d2\u05d1\u05d5\u05ea \u05de\u05d2\u05d5\u05e4\u05dd:<\/p>\n<p>1) Talk to your psychiatrist about your physical health and ways to help you support it.<\/p>\n<p>2) \u05e2\u05e7\u05d5\u05d1 \u05d0\u05d7\u05e8 \u05d4\u05e9\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05d9\u05d9\u05dd \u05d1\u05de\u05e9\u05e7\u05dc \u05d5\u05d1\u05d2\u05d5\u05d3\u05dc \u05d4\u05de\u05db\u05e0\u05e1\u05d9\u05d9\u05dd \u05e9\u05dc\u05da, \u05de\u05db\u05d9\u05d5\u05d5\u05df \u05e9\u05de\u05d9\u05d3\u05ea \u05d4\u05de\u05d5\u05ea\u05e0\u05d9\u05d9\u05dd \u05d4\u05d9\u05d0 \u05de\u05e0\u05d1\u05d0 \u05e9\u05d9\u05de\u05d5\u05e9\u05d9 \u05dc\u05ea\u05e1\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05ea \u05de\u05d8\u05d1\u05d5\u05dc\u05d9\u05ea.<\/p>\n<p>3) \u05d4\u05e7\u05e4\u05d9\u05d3\u05d5 \u05dc\u05e2\u05d1\u05d5\u05e8 \u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7\u05d5\u05ea \u05e7\u05d1\u05d5\u05e2\u05d5\u05ea \u05d0\u05e6\u05dc \u05e8\u05d5\u05e4\u05d0 \u05e8\u05d0\u05e9\u05d5\u05e0\u05d9.<\/p>\n<p>People living with schizophrenia deserve a life with both mental stability and good physical health.
