Schizophrenia is a significant mental health condition involving the dysregulation of multiple neurological pathways in its pathophysiology. The glutamate hypothesis for schizophrenia suggests a dysfunctional glutamatergic system throughout the varying phenotypic stages of schizophrenia – i.e. first-episode psychosis, chronic schizophrenia, and treatment-resistant schizophrenia. In this systematic review protocol (based on PRSIMA-P guidelines), we outline an approach to explore the relationship between the levels of glutamate, glutamine, and the glutamate-to-glutamine ratio and the varying phenotypic stages of schizophrenia. Furthermore, the protocol proposes to review the empirical magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) literature to better understand the association between these changes in the above clinical subgroups and their neuroanatomical correlates.

Schizophrenia guidelines list family interventions as an efficient means in reducing relapses. Interventions aim to help families cope with their relative's problems more effectively, provide support and education, and reduce levels of distress and improve the family communication (see deHaanet al., 2002).
