Article Synopsis
- Negative symptoms (NS) in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) and bipolar disorder I (BD-I) have been linked to issues in working memory, but research on their connections to other clinical factors is limited.
- In a study with 50 participants from SSD and 49 from BD-I, NS were evaluated using SANS scores focusing on areas like avolition-apathy and anhedonia-asociality, while relationships to symptoms and antipsychotic medication were analyzed through regression methods.
- Results indicated that disorganization correlates with specific negative symptoms, and avolition-apathy notably predicts worse working memory across both disorders, suggesting the need for further understanding of how NS affects cognitive function in these conditions.
