What Is The Link Between IQ And Schizophrenia? - Schizophrenia Support Network
What Is The Link Between IQ And Schizophrenia? Have you ever wondered about the relationship between intelligence and schizophrenia? In this informative video, we'll explain what research reveals about how IQ levels relate to this mental health condition. We'll start by discussing how most individuals with schizophrenia tend to have lower IQ scores compared to the general population, but also highlight that some people had above-average intelligence before symptoms appeared. We'll explore the concept of pre-morbid IQ and how it can influence the severity of symptoms and overall functioning. The video will also cover how changes in IQ during the course of schizophrenia are linked to brain alterations, particularly in areas responsible for thinking and reasoning. Additionally, we'll look at how individuals with high IQs and schizophrenia may demonstrate stronger reasoning skills and better self-monitoring, even if social skills are affected. Understanding these differences is essential for tailoring effective treatment approaches, such as cognitive training, which can be more beneficial for those with higher cognitive abilities. This information emphasizes the importance of recognizing the wide range of cognitive abilities among people with schizophrenia, helping to reduce stigma and promote a more balanced perspective on the condition.
