Medication The primary means of treating<unk> s is antipsychotic medications which affect dopamine metabolism. If the primary diagnosis is a mood disorder (with psychotic features), adjunctive medications are often used (e.g., antidepressants or mood stabilizers). These medical approaches may allow the person to function normally but are not a cure as they do not eradicate the underlying thought disorder. Therapy Cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to help decrease the frequency and distressfulness of<unk> s, particularly when other psychotic symptoms were presenting. Enhanced supportive therapy has been shown to reduce the frequency of<unk> s, the violent resistance the patient displayed towards said hallucinations, and an overall decrease in the perceived malignancy of the hallucinations. Other cognitive and behavioral therapies have been used with mixed success. Another key to therapy is to help patients see that they do not need to obey voices that they are hearing. It has been seen in patients with schizophrenia and<unk> s that therapy might help confer insight into recognizing and choosing to not obey the voices that they hear. Others Between 25% and 30% of schizophrenia patients do not respond to antipsychotic medication which has led researchers to look for alternate sources to help them. Two common methods to help are Electroconvulsive therapy and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Electroconvulsive therapy or ECT has been shown to reduce psychotic symptoms associated with schizophrenia, mania, and depression, and is often used in psychiatric hospitals. Transcranial magnetic stimulation when used to treat<unk> s in schizophrenic patients is done at a low frequency of 1 Hertz to the left temporoparietal cortex.
