  1. Barriers to achieve remission and recovery in schizophrenia Prof Köksal Alptekin MD Dept of Psychiatry Dokuz Eylül University School of Medicine İzmir-TURKEY GAMIAN-Europe Regional Seminar: Psychosocial Recovery, Budapest 2011 koksal.alptekin@deu.edu.tr

  2. Barriers to achieve remission and recovery in schizophrenia • Treatment effectiveness • Treatment side effects and early death • Combined antipsychotics use • Treatment adherence • Cognitive deficits and psychosocial functioning

  3. One-year follow up study of schizophrenia patients: a multicenter, naturalistic design • 382 patients with DSM-IV schizophrenia • 44 % patients were followed-up for a year • Total BPRS: Baseline: 53.11, 12th Month: 42.11 BPRS scores

  4. Predictor Factorsof Disability(Multiple Linear Regression Analysis) B Std.Eror Beta t___ Negative symp. 0.391 0.155 0.302 2.304* DUP 0.428 0.181 1.181 2.365* (Constant) 3.513 1.001 ----- 2.429__ * p < 0.05 ( DUP : Duration of Untreated Psychosis) (Alptekin et al. 2005, Psychiatry Research)

  5. Only 14 %met fullrecovery criteria for 2 years or longer. • Better cognitive functioning was associated with full recovery (adequatesocial/vocational functioning, and symptomremission) • Shorter duration of psychosisbefore study entry predicted both fullrecovery and symptom remission.

  6. Remission & recovery in schizophrenia • Duration of untreated psychosis • Cognitive functions • Negative symptoms

  7. Discontinuation Rates CATIE study1 56 44 All drugs (n=382)2* Patients % *Graph showing discontinuation rate for patients on various antipsychotic drug combinations for 12 month period; CATIE study shows discontinuation rate over 18 months 1. Lieberman JA et al. N Engl J Med 2005; 353: 1209–23. 2. Alptekin K et al. J Psych Res 2005; 135:101–11

  8. 150 double-blind, mostly short-term studies, • 21 533 participants • Four of these drugs were better than FGAs for overall efficacy, with small to medium effect sizes • Amisulpride: −0·31 [95% CI −0·44 to −0·19,p<0·0001] • Clozapine: −0·52 [−0·75 to −0·29, p<0·0001] • Olanzapine: −0·28 [−0·38 to −0·18, p<0·0001] • Risperidone: −0·13 [−0·22 to −0·05, p=0·002])

  15. Compared to the general population, persons with major mental illness typically lose more than 25 years of normal life span Colton CW, Manderscheid RW.

  16. Physical Health: A Major Concern to Psychiatristsand Patients Sexual dysfunction Metabolic abnormalities Weight change Sedation EPS        ? • 3,764 respondents, across 12 European countries (2006) • 10-question survey on aspects of physical health in schizophrenia • Physical health monitoring and the impact of antipsychotic therapy • Only 66 % reported that they were monitoring weight. 1. Saravane D et al. European Psychiatry 2007; S101–S220: Abstract # P130. 2. NICE Guidelines. 3. Hofer A et al. J Clin Psychiatry 2002; 63:49–53. 4. Angermeyer MC et al. Psychiatr Prax 2000.

  17. Doctors and lay people differ in their attitudestowards weight gain • Patients may encounter negative public attitudes towards antipsychotics and strong pressure to stop medication in the event of side effects *** p  0.001 Helbling J et al. BMC Psychiatry 2006;6:42

  18. Treatment Nonadherence • Increase relapse rates • Frequent hospitalization • Poor prognosis • Impaired psychosocial functioning • Poor quality of life

  19. J Clin Psychiatry 2003;64:10–3 J Clin Psychiatry 2004;65:1211–8 • Insight • Cognitivedysfunctions • Patient’s feelings • Side effects • Efficacy Nonadherence Doctor/patient relationship - a working therapeutic alliance

  20. Conclusions.1 : • Clozapine seems quite better • Dose is very relevant regarding remission of symptoms • However patients are still symptomatic. • Far away from recovery issues mainly due to inefficacy of available antipsychotics over cognitive dysfunctions • Treatment side effects, weight gain, early death issue

  21. Conclusions.2 : • Efficacy in remission of positive symptoms • Less efficacy in improving negative symptoms and especially cognitive dysfunctions • Receptors underlying cognitive dysfunctions are not clear • New medicines are requiredto treat both psychosis and cognitive dysfunctions or future treatment of schizophrenia may happen by combining SGAs and new medicines which improve cognitive dysfunctions.
