What does schizophrenia really cost our communities?

New evidence published in JAMA Psychiatry provides the first national and state-level view of the full societal cost.

We believe in a
cure for schizophrenia

The quest for a cure may take decades, but it is the pinnacle of our research and clinical aspirations.

Until there's a cure,
recovery is achievable.

With proper treatment and support, many people with schizophrenia can achieve recovery, including returning to work or school, having a family, enjoying friendships and social activities and engaging in a meaning-driven life.

Recovery generally requires urgent, best-practice treatment and a range of integrated support services – the type of care our fragmented healthcare system does not often provide. But if everyone with schizophrenia had access to such care, the picture of this disease would look vastly different.

Without proper treatment, too many people live their lives with debilitating disease. Join us as we work to create a pathway to recovery filled with hope, purpose and connection.

S&PAA is leading the charge to advocate for people with schizophrenia and psychosis disorders.

Our work focuses on 3 Strategic Pillars:

Research

Accelerate earlier diagnosis and breakthrough treatments and uncover the societal, caregiver and patient costs of schizophrenia to improve resources for care.
