Analysis of metabolic syndrome and cognitive functional analysis in schizophrenic patients based on psychological
Abstract:
In this paper, we explore the characteristics of cognitive dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia complicated with metabolic syndrome (MS), and to explore the effects of psychological intervention on MS and cognitive function changes in patients with schizophrenia, and to provide theoretical basis for early intervention of MS. 159 patients with schizophrenia were retrospectively analyzed and divided into 2 groups according to whether they were accompanied by MS. (41 cases), the second group was not MS. (118 cases). Results shows PANSS total score as (53.72 ± 5.03), positive symptom score (12.39 ± 2.68), negative symptom score (14.94 ± 3.27), general pathological score (26.27 ± 3.63). In MS group,Verbal fluency (16.69 ± 1.27), symbol coding (30.46 ± 2.55), number sequence (15.21 ± 1.84), spatial span (10.14 ± 0.68), continuous operation (16.72 ± 1.34), verbal memory (16.72 ± 1.34), and visual memory (14.24 ± 1.26), all indicators were significantly lower than those of non-MS group. The cognitive impairment of schizophrenia patients with multiple sclerosis is more severe than that of schizophrenia patients without multiple sclerosis. Increasing psychological intervention can effectively improve the therapeutic effect and cognitive function of schizophrenia patients. Early identification and intervention of MS in the clinical treatment of schizophrenia is particularly important.
