[Cognitive Disorders in Schizophrenia]
Abstract:
Cognitive disorders in schizophrenia can be observed in relatives and persons even before the first episode. The patterns of these disorders may be specific to the occurrence of a later episode. After the first episode, the disorders remain relatively stable and are partly correlated with negative symptoms. Furthermore, the cognitive deficits have a negative impact on the social and occupational functional level. Recent studies suggest that cognitive remediation has small to moderate effects on cognition, and thus can also improve overall patient function.
