Rethinking Schizophrenia: Optimising Schizophrenia Care Pathways in Europe

In this episode, we are joined by Member of the European Parliament Tomas Zdechovský, Matthieu de Vilmorin, Past President of Schizo Oui, and Professor Merete Nordentoft, a leading expert in psychiatry at the University of Copenhagen. Together, they shed light on the pressing challenges and opportunities in the care and treatment of schizophrenia across Europe. Schizophrenia remains one of the most complex mental health conditions to manage, with profound and lasting impacts on young people and their families. While treatment options have evolved, persistent barriers—such as delayed diagnosis, discontinuity in care, and limited long-term support—continue to hinder recovery and quality of life for many. This episode explores the key findings from the second phase of the Rethinking Schizophrenia project, spearheaded by the European Brain Council in collaboration with the European Psychiatric Association. Drawing on insights from over 200 health practitioners across nine European countries—Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the UK—the project delivers a comprehensive analysis of care pathways and offers recommendations to improve early intervention, shared decision-making, and recovery-oriented approaches. With reflections from experts and powerful contributions from patient and caregiver advocates, we examine how to overcome stigma, close systemic gaps, and create a more inclusive and effective mental health system for all. Tune in now to hear how collaborative action and policy change can reshape schizophrenia care—and help support long-term recovery across Europe.
