Method: This research is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach in which research subjects were obtained using a consecutive sampling method from medical records of patients with schizophrenia (ODS) at RSJD Dr. Amino Gondohutomo Semarang (n=68) divided into 2 groups consisting of patients with a duration of therapy <2 years and a duration of therapy ≥2 years. The relationship between duration of antipsychotic therapy and hemoglobin levels was analyzed using unpaired t-test. Result:  The mean hemoglobin value for people with schizophrenia in the group with a duration of therapy <2 years is 14.09, while that in the group with a duration of therapy ≥2 years is 14.06 with a p value = 0.928. Conclusion: There was no relationship between hemoglobin levels in people with schizophrenia and duration of therapy both <2 years and ≥2 years.
