Cognitive Impairment in Psychosis: What it is and How it’s Treated

Each month The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation hosts a Meet the Scientist Webinar featuring a researcher discussing the latest findings related to mental illness. In July, 2021, the Foundation featured Dr. Amanda McCleery of the University of Iowa. Description: Among individuals with psychotic disorders, cognitive impairment is among the strongest determinants of the ability to function in the community. Dr. McCleery will review the major areas of research in this area, including efforts to better understand the prevalence of cognitive problems, aspects of cognition that are impacted by psychotic illness, and the developmental course of cognitive impairment. Treatment approaches that aim to improve cognitive performance also will be discussed. Learn more at Visit us on the web: If you like this presentation, please share it!
