Description:

Course Description: Psychosis is a debilitating and chronic condition that can manifest in non-affective disorders, such as schizophrenia, and affective disorders such as bipolar disorder or depression. A rich body of scientific studies has evidenced cognitive impairments in patients with psychosis. This has led researchers to explore whether the timing and development of global and specific cognitive impairments might reveal neurodevelopmental evidence on the diagnosis and prognosis of psychosis. This course introduces life span associations between cognitive ability and psychosis with emphasis on the dimensional nature of these processes and their impact on functional ability.
