Leading mental illness researchers Professor Jayashri Kulkarni AM FAHMS (Alfred Health and Monash University), Prof Suresh Sundram (Monash University) and Dr Rachel Hill (Monash University) have come together to address a complex mental illness - schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is a debilitating and complex mental illness that affects approx.1 in 100 people (200,000 Australians). Medications currently used for schizophrenia have only modest and inconsistent effects.
They are currently running a study with the aim to improve the outcomes for women living with schizophrenia. They are inviting women 18-65 years old, with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, and are stabilised on current therapy for at least 4 weeks, to take part in a 12-week study that is underway in Melbourne.
They are testing a novel hormone treatment, which we know from previous research to be safe and well-tolerated, for its efficacy in improving symptoms.
