Clinically useful tools to identify the aberrant neural circuitry in individuals with psychiatric illness are lacking, as are treatments that do more than just address symptoms. Neuroplasticity-based treatments and computational neuroscience may hold some of the keys to unlocking the golden age of psychiatry.

Highlights
•
This is the first study on the effect of Cognitive Remediation (CR) on negative symptoms in people with schizophrenia.
•
The results demonstrate a small to moderate effect of CR on negative symptoms (effect size g = − 0.30).
•
Negative symptom reduction is maintained at follow-up (effect size 95% g = − 0.36).
•
Studies with more robust methodology show a larger negative symptom reduction (effect size g = − 0.40).
•
There were no differences in drop-out rates between individuals randomized to CR and the control conditions suggesting that this intervention is acceptable.
Will there ever be a better treatment for psychosis??
How far away because I’m tired of the usual mental status exam every time I go in for a session.
I would like to know for sure what I have and will it or won’t it come back. That and better treatments of course that garantee it won’t resurface with less side effects.
