What Is The Cause Of Negative Symptoms In Patients With Schizophrenia?
Question: What is the cause of negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia? With the right medications and healthy lifestyle, are negative symptoms of schizophrenia likely to improve fully?
Brief Answer:
Difficult to treat symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome here.
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia are likely to be the result of irregularities of distributed neural networks.
The negative symptoms are generally difficult to treat symptoms of schizophrenia.
Complete recovery from negative symptoms may not be seen in all patients as they do not respond very well to antipsychotic drugs.
Positive symptoms generally respond very to medications.
Healthy lifestyle can definitely help, if patient agrees to follow it sincerely.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Okay
Could it be that irregularity of distributed neural networks due to specific symptoms of schizophrenia? For instance, I think I started developing social withdrawal right after I started to be exceptionally obsessed with how others seem to know what I am thinking , through subtle cues in facial expressions, mannerisms, etc.

The instance which you have shared suggests that this is the positive symptom of schizophrenia. This could be the referential thinking that others seems to know what you are thinking.
Anyhow, the different group of symptoms in schizophrenia are result of disruptions in different neural circuits or brain areas.
