IMO pdocs are more concerned about positive symptoms than anything else when it comes to having a psychotic illness. It’s probably fair to say that in that sense I’m mostly in remission. Ambition,Goal directed behaviour and motivation- not so much. Ditto social functioning. It’s par for the course,or so I’ve read in articles by professionals, for the more acute positive symptoms to take more of a backseat as you get older.

Even if they were concerned about negative symptoms, there wouldn’t be much they could do.
That’s it, but there are antipsychotics being researched, and addons to antipsychotics that help.
Also there is therapy, and a good psychiatrist will stress a need for therapy.
Sadly none of this worked for my symptoms…
Unfortunately the meds make my negative symptoms worse. I hope that they will discover a pill to help with the schizophrenia negative symptoms.
They are being developed. There is a list on wikipedia.
