Study of control and expressivity and ambivalence of emotion in patients with schizophrenia

Abstract

Schizophrenia causes asymptomatic symptoms such as psychosis, negative symptoms, dysfunction in the process of cognition and excitement, and consequently psychosocial disorder. We need to look for newer treatment models to reduce the symptoms of this all-encompassing and deceptive disease. Newer and more selective behavioral interventions that target precisely the emotional processes improve the quality of life and psychosocial function. Patients admitted to Razi Hospital who have suffered from acute psychosis in the last 2 years. Method: Information of patients with study entry and exit criteria using a checklist previously prepared in terms of age and sex and rejection of mood psychoses, substance abuse, analytical disorders, physical illness and willingness to participate in the study and lack of disease Psychiatric major and lack of chronic physical illness and major were collected in the group of healthy individuals and after classification, they entered SPSS software and were compared and analyzed between the two groups. In all statistical tests, P <0.05 was considered significant. Results: In the present case-control study of 55 people with schizophrenia and 54 controls were included in the group. The mean emotional expression in the schizophrenic group was significantly higher than the control group (P <0.001) and ambivalence did not differ significantly between the two groups in expressing emotion and emotion control.
