Abstract
Schizophrenia is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder that could bring severe cognitive and neurological dysfunctions to patients. Current widely used treatments, such as second-generation antipsychotics, are only effective in addressing the positive symptoms of the disorder, rather than the negative symptoms and cognitive dysfunctions experienced by patients. Moreover, these medications lack personalized treatment, as they do not cater to the individual needs of each patient. Given these limitations, there is a pressing need to explore more innovative, nonpharmacological treatments that specifically target the improvement of negative and cognitive symptoms in schizophrenia patients. This paper, through literature review and case analysis, will delve into the various aspects of schizophrenia, including its symptoms, pathology, etiology, and diagnosis. Additionally, it will provide a comparative analysis of traditional and innovative treatment approaches, highlighting the potential benefits of exploring alternative, non-pharmacological interventions that may better address the multifaceted nature of this complex disorder.
