Descripción
Sumario:Schizophrenia is one of the major psychiatric disorders with global impairment of cognition, emotional status and personality destruction having a major medical, social and economic impact worldwide. In this paper, we evaluated the correlation of disease progression with cognitive deficit, socio-professional and family disjunction using the MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination) and GAFS (Global Assessment of Functioning Scale) scales on a group of 191 schizophrenic patients admitted to the Psychiatric Clinic II Craiova during 2017. The fact that both scales show reduced values in patients with schizophrenia reveals a significant alteration in the quality of life of patients with this pathology having major implications on the individuals and on the community.
