Future Research Directions for the Treatment and Management of Schizophrenia ►Cognitive impairment is seen in nearly every patient with schizophrenia Cognitive Impairment in Schizophrenia 1 ►Deficits are significant and broad in nature ►Deficits appear early in the course of the disease and continue throughout the lifetime of the disease ►An individual’s level of cognitive function is strongly related to their functional outcome ►Symptoms present in adolescence and early adulthood Early Detection and Treatment Intervention 2 ►The disease course is characterised by recurrent exacerbation and remissions in a chronic state of residual symptoms and functional impairment ►Meager treatment responses and outcomes are associated with a longer duration from the initial episode of the illness prior to treatment intervention 1 Tandon et al.
