A 26-yeаr-оld wоmаn is referred by her pаrents, stating that she has been exhibiting "strange" behaviоr recently. The patient is a graduate student earning her Ph.D. in aerospace engineering. They report that for about the past year, the patient has been highly stressed about school. About eight months ago, her boyfriend of 6 years left her, stating that she put "all of her time into school." The parents became worried when they had not heard from their daughter in a few weeks, so they drove to where she lives to find her apartment in shambles, smelling horrible with "months' worth of trash" piled up. They state the patient appeared to be "not herself and that she has lost a great deal of weight." During an interview, the patient stated that she no longer needs to attend class, as her field of study is considered "the devil's work." She said, "The voices tell me everything I need to know." The patient has an aunt and a cousin with schizophrenia. This is the first time this has happened. The medical workup was within normal limits, and the urinary toxicology test was negative. What is the most essential part of management in the treatment of this patient?
