Understanding Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a complex brain disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and perceives reality. It may involve symptoms such as hallucinations, delusional thinking, disorganized behavior, social withdrawal, or difficulty concentrating. These experiences can cause deep distress and isolation for both the individual and their loved ones. While schizophrenia can feel overwhelming, it is important to know that recovery and stability are possible. With the right combination of medication, therapy, structure, and supportive care, many individuals lead meaningful, fulfilling lives.

A Catholic and Compassionate Approach
At Metamorphic Psychiatry, we approach each person as a beloved child of God — never defined by illness but guided toward healing.
As a Catholic psychiatrist, Dr. Duk integrates medical science with spiritual truth. Faith becomes a foundation of hope, helping patients and families understand that suffering never means abandonment by God. Our goal is to restore clarity, peace, and self-worth, recognizing that every human soul carries inherent dignity, even in the midst of illness.

Through patient and family education, structure, and ongoing support, we aim to foster long-term stability and hope.

Support for Families

Schizophrenia affects the entire family system. We help loved ones understand symptoms, medication, and relapse prevention while offering faith-based guidance on compassion, patience, and prayer. Families are essential partners in recovery — and their healing matters too. Serving Corona del Mar and Orange County
