Schizophrenia Care
Comprehensive, Respectful, and Ongoing Support for Long-Term Stability
Schizophrenia is a complex mental health condition that can affect the way a person thinks, feels, and interacts with the world. It can cause changes in perception, difficulty organizing thoughts, and challenges with daily functioning. These symptoms can be confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes frightening — both for the individual and the family.
But with the right care, stability is possible.
People with schizophrenia can live meaningful, independent, and fulfilling lives.
Maryland Behavioral Health offers compassionate, structured, and evidence-based treatment that focuses on long-term stability, safety, and support. We walk alongside individuals and families every step of the way.
Understanding Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia affects thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a way that makes it difficult for a person to distinguish what’s real from what isn’t.
Positive Symptoms (Things added to experience)
- Hallucinations (hearing or seeing things that aren’t there)
- Delusions (strong beliefs not based in reality)
- Disorganized or rapid speech
- Confusion or unusual thoughts
Â
Negative Symptoms (Things reduced or missing)
- Low motivation
- Flat or reduced emotional expression
- Social withdrawal
- Difficulty with daily tasks
Cognitive Symptoms
- Trouble concentrating
- Memory difficulties
- Slower processing
These symptoms do not mean someone is dangerous or incapable.
They simply need the right support — and that’s what we’re here to provide.
