This is a case of schizophrenia. The Evidenced-based interventions according to the 2009 PORT report on psychosocial practices for schizophrenia have highlighted eight interventions or programs that could be considered evidence-based. These were in terms of interventions: family psychoeducation, cognitive behavior therapy, social skills training, weight management, and token economy.
