The Schizophrenia Puzzle is Solvable | W. Gordon Frankle, MD

Описание: There’s a care model for schizophrenia that actually works—why isn’t it everywhere?

On this episode, W. Gordon Frankle, MD, MBA, Vice Chair of Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health, shares how his team in Brooklyn is building a new model for treating serious mental illness—one rooted in long-term, relationship-driven, team-based care. From wraparound services to precision psychiatry, this conversation explores what happens when you bring humanity, structure, and innovation to a population too often left behind.

Dr. Frankle also discusses:
• The first novel schizophrenia drug in over 50 years (Cobenfy)
• Why clozapine is underused—and how that may finally change
• The potential of brain imaging and biomarkers in psychiatric treatment
• What a real community mental health system looks like
• Why trust, not just treatment, is essential for recovery
