Self-Perception Deficits in Schizophrenia: Clinical Implications and Rehabilitation Strategies

This study investigates how patients with schizophrenia (SCZ) perceive themselves and how it affects their quality of life. According to the study, patients with SCZ typically have deficiencies in their ability to perceive themselves, which show up as distorted self-awareness, unbalanced self-evaluation, and a lack of self-identification. These cognitive impairments seriously impair patients' social functioning and quality of life in addition to having a detrimental effect on their mental health. Cognitive impairment is a core symptom of schizophrenia and has a serious impact on patients' social functioning and quality of life. These cognitive deficits significantly impact patients' daily lives and social functioning, including areas such as learning, work, and interpersonal communication. The paper also explores the connection between self-perception deficits and cognitive dysfunction, revealing that self-perception deficits are strongly linked to widespread cognitive impairments. Enhancing self-perception abilities can improve overall cognitive functioning, which in turn can enhance social functioning and quality of life. The paper also examines individual differences, psychological factors, therapeutic strategies, and rehabilitation measures as well as disease characteristics that may impact self-perception barriers. It implies that patients can be assisted in overcoming obstacles related to their self-perception and achieving greater quality of life and functional levels through the more thorough application of diverse therapeutic techniques and customised intervention programmes.
