Complexity of polypharmacological treatment in a case of resistant schizophrenia

"Please come in," Angela's father says, and you walk into Angela's dark house with him. The shutters are closed, there is a bad smell. When you adjust to the dark, you see piles of dirty shoes and clothes everywhere. There are countless shoe boxes in the middle of the room. Angela is sitting on the sofa, with a modest attitude, her head bowed, her gaze fixed downwards. You ask questions about how she feels and her worries. "The neighbours are watching me, they want to hurt me," she whispers. Can you help her?
