Abstract
Schizophrenia is a mental illness involving multiple symptom domains and is often associated with substantial physical health comorbidities. Guidelines exist, but these tend to be country-specific and are often missing a concise yet comprehensive algorithmic approach. From May 1, 2023, to Jan 1, 2025, International Guidelines for Algorithmic Treatment (INTEGRATE) authors from all UN regions collaborated to develop a consensus guideline focused on the pharmacological treatment of schizophrenia. Following an umbrella review of the literature, input from expert workshops, a consensus survey, and lived experience focus groups, a consensus algorithmic guideline and associated digital tool were developed. Key recommendations include a focus on metabolic health from treatment initiation, timely assessment and management of non-response, symptom domain-specific interventions, mitigation of side-effects, and the prompt use of clozapine in cases of treatment resistance.
