Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. From studies conducted on patients who showed varying degrees of drug resistance, the introduction of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) improved response to the medications and was suggested to be included in all modalities of treatment of schizophrenia.

I hope you find my response helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
