Talking about mental health: schizophrenia on BBC Newcastle

CSV Action's Claire Rutter set up this interview on BBC Newcastle. For people with schizophrenia who can't or won't take anti psychotic drug treatment, cognitive therapy could be a viable therapeutic alternative, according to a ground breaking randomised trial published in The Lancet. The findings, from teams at Manchester and Newcastle University suggest that cognitive therapy could be safe and effective in reducing psychotic symptoms and improving personal and social functioning compared with treatment as usual.
