Journal of psychiatric research·2018

Cognitive impairment is a core feature of schizophrenia, present early and persisting throughout the illness. This fundamental brain-based deficit impacts attention, memory, and problem-solving, independent of active symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Schizophrenia is increasingly recognized for its significant impact on cognitive functions.
  • Neuropsychological deficits are a pervasive and fundamental aspect of the illness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight reliable findings on cognitive impairment in schizophrenia relevant to clinical practice.
  • To emphasize the fundamental nature of cognitive deficits in schizophrenia.

Main Methods:

  • Review of accumulating evidence on neuropsychological and information processing abilities in schizophrenia.
  • Analysis of the relationship between cognitive impairment and clinical-symptomatic states.

Main Results:

  • Cognitive impairment is a fundamental feature of schizophrenia, detectable early and often preceding overt symptoms.

  • Deficits in attention, memory, and problem-solving are particularly significant and neurobiologically relevant.
  • Cognitive impairment is largely stable, not merely a byproduct of active psychosis, and reflects illness severity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cognitive impairment is a core symptom domain in schizophrenia, as important as positive or negative symptoms.
    • These deficits underscore schizophrenia as a primary brain disorder.
    • Understanding cognitive impairment is crucial for effective treatment and management of schizophrenia.
