When his son was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2006\, Dr. Laitman became an expert on the treatment of psychosis and expanded his practice to include taking care of people with psychotic disorders. Dr. Laitman uses a biopsychosocial approach in his treatment and prescription of the antipsychotic clozapine and he works to mitigate medication side effects with a wraparound approach that includes other medications. His treatment team includes a social worker\, who provides case management and other support services. Dr. Laitman emphasizes the importance of diet and exercise\, and he and his staff try to help individuals with housing\, education\, and vocational training.
