Abstract
Dr John M. Kane discusses cognitive impairments in schizophrenia with fellow expert Dr Philip D. Harvey and patient advocate and mental health clinician, Mr Carlos A. Larrauri, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia. The podcast aims to raise awareness of the unmet need to address cognitive impairments associated with schizophrenia (CIAS) as well as the challenges/opportunities faced by patients and clinicians regarding assessments and treatments. The authors emphasize the importance of a treatment focus on daily functioning, in parallel with cognitive symptoms, to mitigate impairments and improve overall outcomes. Mr Larrauri presents the patient perspective and shares his experiences of how psychosocial support and cognitive training can benefit recovery and help patients achieve their goals.
