Summary
Schizophrenia is not a curable but a treatable disease by antipsychotics. Kinds of atypical
antipsychotics are widely used since 1990s' in China. Although their efficacy for acute phase
are all better than typicals, individulized regimen of them for first-episode schizophrenia
and their effectiveness in real naturalistic clinical settings still remain unclear. And
those patients also need more comprehensive intervention such as psychosocial programs to
improve their function. This protocol is to conduct a study in several sites of China to
investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive intervention combining sequenced atypical
antipsychotic therapy and intensive psychosocial intervention for first-episode schizophrenic
patients. In addition, this protocol also aims at collecting such information as molecular
genetics, neurochemical test, neucognitive performance and neuroimaging for outcome analysis.
