In general, acupuncture can be used as an adjunctive treatment for schizophrenia, but it cannot replace medications or standardized psychiatric and psychological therapies. Acupuncture treatment should be performed by qualified physicians at正规 medical institutions, and patients should avoid unlicensed facilities.
