Popis: Introduction Schizophrenia is a ravaging and costly mental illness. Treatment of schizophrenia is long term and involves different kinds of care (drugs, outpatient, hospital, and residential care). Antipsychotic drugs contribute substantially to control patients positive and negative symptoms. In the late 90’s, new “atypical” antipsychotics have been introduced, which are supposed to be more effective, but also are more expensive. However evidence on cost-effectiveness of atypical drugs is yet limited.
