Schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric disorder with ex aberrations and and relapses. Patients with schizophrenia are prone to have these behaviors secondary to their abnormal thought process. But these issues can be addressed better nowadays with advanced drugs and treatment approaches. Long acting antipsychotic injection is a very good option to go for. Kindly consult your psychiatrist for further clarifications.
