Abstract:
Schizophrenia is a multifaceted mental illness that manifested by negative, positive and cognitive deficit symptoms in memory, attention and executive functions. In schizophrenia, particular impairments are experienced in vital functioning areas as relations with others, work, and self-care. Such impairments inhibit patients from developing social relationships, satisfying their social roles and requirements, resulting in diminishing quality of life for patients. Schizophrenic Patients suffer from extreme deficiency of social and economic status. Illness makes functional disability that last mostly throughout life. Individuals with schizophrenia who have loss or impairment of function may inhibit them from partaking in different societal events. Insight in schizophrenia is a multidimensional phenomenon influencing attitude of patient towards medication and compliance. Thus good insight correlates with better post-hospital adjustment, better response to medication, positive post-discharge outcome, and superior medication compliance. Social skills training are applied to assist individuals in learning specific skills that are missing or those that will compensate for the missing ones. Social skills training enhance ability to acquire and sustainability of particular social skills; it develops social functioning activities significantly more frequently as compared to the patients in treatment as usual.
