Schizophrenia Treatment in South Dakota, North Dakota & Iowa
Schizophrenia is serious, and it is also treatable. Steady psychiatric care makes a real difference. Our team provides thoughtful, ongoing schizophrenia care, in person at six clinics or by secure telehealth.
Understanding schizophrenia
Steady, ongoing care that helps
Schizophrenia affects how a person thinks, feels, and experiences the world. It can involve hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking, and it often first appears in the late teens or twenties. It is nobody's fault, and it is treatable.
At MWI Health, care centers on a careful evaluation and consistent medication management, with therapy and support alongside. Staying connected to a provider over time is one of the most important parts of managing schizophrenia well.
Our providers serve South Dakota, North Dakota, and Iowa, so you can receive care close to home or by telehealth. If someone needs a higher level of care during an acute crisis, we help coordinate it and continue care afterward.
Signs & symptoms
What schizophrenia can look like
Symptoms vary and can change over time. If you notice several of these in yourself or someone you care about, an evaluation is an important first step.
