Antipsychotics, schizophrenia, treatment adherenceAbstract
This article describes the case of a young patient in his first psychotic episode and facing difficulties adhering to treatment, in which second-generation long-acting antipsychotics were used. The use of these drugs should be more often considered in the treatment of schizophrenia, due to their easy handling and safety, as they improve treatment adherence and consequently the prognosis of patients.
