This Phase 2 trial tests whether a “synbiotic” supplement (a mix of probiotics and prebiotics) can reduce symptoms of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It may help by targeting gut-related immune and inflammation pathways that could affect brain symptoms.
This study tests whether extra support from a pharmacist helps people with mental health conditions manage their antipsychotic medication better. It may improve how well the treatment works and reduce side effects.
