Article Synopsis
- Patients with schizophrenia often exhibit high baseline autonomic activity and low reactivity to impactful stimuli, which are linked to more severe symptoms.
- The study involved measuring electrodermal activity and heart rate in 73 unmedicated patients while assessing their symptoms with the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale.
- Results showed that patients with increased autonomic responses had slower reaction times and more severe positive symptoms, suggesting that elevated autonomic activity could play a role in the experience of distress in schizophrenia.
