| Description | Cognitive dysfunction is found in many neuropsychiatric disorders. Most studies were performed in patients with schizophrenia. The most available pharmacotherapeutic possibilities are atypical antipsychotics and adjunctive treatment, which can further augment the effect of atypicals. In comparison with typicals, atypical antipsychotics improve cognitive dysfunction more. In our study we confirmed the existence of cognitive deficit in patients with first episode schizophrenia. During the long- term treatment in compliant patients the cognitive dysfunction improved, but did not reach the normal level. |
