Appropriate pharmacological intervention is the most recommended treatment for Schizophrenia. The intent of medication is a reduction in symptoms. Hallucinations, which are sensory perceptions that are not real, can be significantly reduced with medications. The most common hallucinations are auditory, or the hearing of voices. Sometimes these voices become "command voices" in which the Schizophrenic is told by the voice to carry out a certain action. Delusions, which are unfounded beliefs that Schizophrenics may believe in spite of refuting evidence, may also be reduced or eliminated with appropriate medications.
