Sometimes I wonder if I ever had severe true negative symptoms or if the anhedonia and stuff was caused by meds or maybe even a post psychosis ptsd or something. Or maybe even depression, as , although I don’t think I’m as sharp as I used to be, I don’t think my cognitive function is too impaired.
I don’t see much of a link between my supposed “negative symptoms”, and cognitive ability. I keep hearing that they are linked but it does not appear that way in my case.
I don’t know. This stuff is almost impossible to figure out.
What’s the executive summary of the article?
Conclusions: These findings emphasize the multifaceted nature of neurocognitive functioning in patients with schizophrenia, with the PANSS-negative score being an important predictor. This gives rise to a role in addressing negative symptoms as a therapeutic objective for enhancing cognitive impairments in these patients. Further research must examine nonlinear relationships among various moderating factors identified in this work, especially the role of D2 occupancy.
