| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 54021891 United States02/07/2014 09:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | More on this promising treatment: [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] CBT, having been adopted as a standard treatment in the United Kingdom for individuals with schizophrenia, is finally gaining more interest and acceptance in the United States as an adjunctive treatment for people with schizophrenia. Initially developed to treat acute symptoms, more recent studies have focused on treating persistent positive and negative symptoms in patients with incomplete remission on antipsychotics alone. Additional targets in recent years have been comorbid conditions of depression, anxiety (including PTSD), and substance use disorders. Also, there is hope that broader use of CBT in rehabilitation settings may lead to improvement in overall function, which has not occurred despite many new drug therapies for patients with schizophrenia. |
