Universally, across all cultures and societies, Schizophrenia affects 1% of the world population.

As a Psychiatrist, the duration of symptoms, severity of symptoms, and combination of symptoms help Dr. Randall to distinguish diagnoses within the Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders class.

People suffering with Schizophrenia or Other Psychotic Disorder may experience delusions, auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, paranoia, disorganized speech, and sometimes even catatonic behavior.  

The treatments available for Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders generally include prescription medications and patients can also benefit from combining with therapy, such as supportive therapy or even group therapy.

Dr. Randall believes that each patient’s diagnosis is not a label, but rather a guide to their individual treatment. So, for each patient she works with, it is her goal to collaboratively develop the appropriate combination of treatments to best meet their individual needs and promote their recovery.
