Learners are expected to have weekly interaction with the Faculty Mentor as well as with other Learners through class participation in course Discussion assignments. Learners must post to each Discussion assignment at least twice each week as follows:
Many individuals with Schizophrenia or other psychotic illnesses have trouble believing that they are ill. The compliance with medication is further challenged with negative side effects of antipsychotic medications. Describe the impact of antipsychotic medications on the person who is taking them and discuss strategies that you can use to help the client optimize treatment. Be sure to include a discussion of how you could work with the prescriber.
