Psychotic disorders
I had lost hope because of schizophrenia.
Nicolas
Ambassador
Nicolas has been affected by schizophrenia since he was young. This severe psychotic disorder alters perceptions, behavior and the personality of people that suffer from it.
At the Douglas Institute, we work relentlessly so that we can provide a satisfying and fulfilling life for all those who are affected by psychotic disorders. Through research, we are able to design better treatments that will improve the daily lives of patients and reduce side effects associated with medication. Our experts are focused on detecting the early symptoms of illness as quickly as possible in order to bring those who suffer back on the path to well-being.
