The relationship between neurocognitive dysfunction and functionality in schizophrenia

Journal Title: JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY MEDICINE - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2

Abstract

Schizophrenia affects more than 24 million adults worldwide. It is associated with personal, social, and economic burden. Most of its burden is due to the functional disabilities from which patients with schizophrenia suffer. Patients with schizophrenia have difficulty succeeding at school, obtaining or maintaining a job, having social relationships, living independently and taking care of their basic daily needs. Cognitive deficits are considered as core features of schizophrenia and have been found to be strongly associated with patients’ functional disabilities. This review aimed to review the neurocognitive impairments and their relation to functionality in patients with schizophrenia.
